Subject: Re: [wiardgroup] Economics and the art of module delivery

Despite having never thought about the economic realities of
delivering any module, let alone something like a through-zero analog
oscillator, I wonder if perhaps the premium price Cynthia is charging
($650) shows that she has taken all of this into account? Or is that
a normal price one would expect to pay for such a complex module with
such a large panel and so much hardware?

This is not meant as a criticism in any way for Cynthia - anyone
involved in using analog synthesizers knows that quality doesn't come
cheap.
