Add the Sillitoe SDMS as a second mastering lathe candidate

Sillitoe Audio Technology (Australia) sells a complete cutting system:
lathe, MMFB feedback cutterhead, cutting amplifier, Space / Time Control
automation with a virtual groove, vacuum and microscope, at a published
USD 125,000 ex tax and shipping. Vendor landscape gets the narrative and
an Agnew-or-Sillitoe comparison; supplier map, total investment basis,
roadmap item 13 and the digital factory's no-telemetry section (STC cue
sheet, Open Groove export, stylus hours) follow.
