to do with preamps.
In the article, Paul describes the other costs involved in
making a $5 IC into a serviceable box that has a mic input
on one side and a line output on the other - connectors,
box, power supply, pots, switches, transformers, and other
miscellaneous components. It all comes out to be a bit over
$500 as he analyzed it, and he did his usual excellent job
of putting on the hat of a designer and manufacturer and
looking at all the little things that people who say "it's a
simple construction project" don't talk about.
Ah, so it isn't really a $5 preamp?
The laurels of the RMP are preserved?
