Telenator, I didn't mean to imply you were gouging anyone on the price. I've done some breakdowns of the costs to produce different things and many times it's just not worth it. I know you're not trying to compete with the boutique winders and may not have their economies of scale. Simply saying I can't afford it.

Regarding the "thin tone" after the Fralin mod...I guess this is where the phrase "your mileage may vary" comes in. I didn't run into that at all. I didn't mention that I had also replaced the pots with 500k pots at the same time....that may have had some bearing as well.
