What is 'quality'?

>(Although I admit to adding a power
connector.  Wire through grommet and knotted is too cheap for even 
me).

See, this is the neat thing about all of us all being different. In 
a Radio World review of the TubeHead they really liked it and thought 
this was one of the coolest parts. The reviewer found a sort of 
metaphysical release in the act of cutting off the plug and spent a 
paragraph on how the connectors should be cut off of _every_ piece of 
wall-wart equipment and the cords passed through a hole and knotted 
:-) 

What can I say? Radio people ... 

>Does it have as "much" quality as a high tech studio quality tube 
preamp sold for $1000. 
>>>
Oh, OK. Some dimension of a multi-dimesional thing called "quality" 
surely must be greater in a $1000 amp than a $100 dollar one. Why not? 
The $100 one may take some other dimension of "quality" to a whole new 
place :-)

If there's a keyboard in the stack, you definitely got a bargain, 
(again, assuming they weren't assembled with a blow-torch :-). I went 
through our box of spare keys and we have a couple of the ones you 
need. I'm sending them along with my compliments, my way of saying 
thanks to a good customer, even if he is slightly mis-guided :-)     
(It's a joke, folks, see the smiley? Let's not start taking ourselves 
too seriously here. Please, not _here_) 

>Paul is stepping out and designing these modules
based on input from THIS GROUP.  How many manufacturers would do that?
