Doepfer

I don't know what the actual costs are, maybe Peter could chime in here 
as he has probably priced out various connectors, PCB's and knobs. 
Again, is the sheet metal used on a Porsche any different than the 
sheet metal on a Honda ? The high prices may be justified in the 
quality control and parts - we've seen enough emails about poor 
connectors in certain modular gear . . . . . Bakis certainly you've got 
some other high end gear - you must notice the difference in quality.
