Hi, Yes cost for sure, but also the incentives seem to be gone. You can now get pretty good gear for a fraction of what similar sound quality stuff was back in the DIY heydays. Worse, the sources for components are far fewer now. Even about 3 years ago there were three Radio Shack stores in our small town. At one time even a get this...Lafayette Radio store. Now there are none and the nearest parts place is 75 miles away and it is marginal for stock. All the delivery folks know the way to my door now as ordering from remote sources is the only way to get components. To be sure if there was a market there would be more suppliers, so I guess we go back to cost and incentive as the drivers.

Good Listening
Bruce
