[sdiy] Audio circuits and basic electronics knowledge recommendation.

[john slee]

I like the straight-to-PCB approach. Also if you're likely to need a rev2
anyway, you can use some of the spare space on the rev1 PCB to validate any
new part footprints you made, related or not :-)

The world we live in now, where magical websites (or, as is more likely in
my case, the laser-cutter at the local hackerspace) very accurately turn
our design mistakes into reality and pop them in the post for $15... It's
pretty amazing, no?
