Dear Dieter, i'm glad to hear about your interest.
Concerning the price: you pricelist includes different rack cases having different cost, items such as Hi-End VCO, blue-LED versions of modules and other items. Offering high-fidelity might be just another option. (Finally it can be just another OEM items such as CEM chips, LEDs, sockets etc)
I'm not a professional engineer, but you are. So, i believe you can find some more cost-effective components with quality close to this particular Analog Devices component but higher then just plain TL064...
Anyway, thanks for your interest.
Best regards,
Dmitry
