[sdiy] pro EQs

[Steve Lenham]

So many possible answers...no doubt others will chime in, but try this:

As well as being a professional design engineer (clue: how do you think I 
became one?), I'm learning to play the piano. One of the first tunes I 
played was "Ode to Joy". For a tiny fraction of the cost of my instrument, I 
could have bought a CD of somebody else playing the same tune a darn sight 
better than I can. Nonetheless, I have since gone on to more advanced pieces 
and hope, one day, to produce original music of my own.

Should I have bought the CD instead?

A very Happy New Year to all,

Steve L.
