Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

There are a few parts that have increased in price that Paul didn't
mention. The other day I needed some RG-174 coaxial cable and
decided to simply buy a 100' roll. I nearly had a heart attack when
the total came to >$40!! Of course I was buying first-rate cable
(Belden) but, man that was painful. Copper prices are going nuts and
Paul didn't even cite that example.

Everything in electronics is a compromise. Choosing quality pots
versus cheap pots is a decision that has many tradeoffs. The same is
true with jacks, switches, and a host of other items. I think Paul
has made the "right" choices in the compromises necessary to bring
MOTM to life, while preserving sonic integrity. I do not agree with
every choice Paul has made. But looking at the big picture, MOTM is
by far the best thing since sliced bread, IMHO. MOTM, like sex,
isn't perfect... but it beats the hell out of whatever is in 2nd
place.

Cheers!
