Fair enough - just trying to understand the terminology in play here... :-) I've always thought of a commodity as things like copper, orange juice, 741 op-amps etc - many competing suppliers and a (virtually) perpetual market to create ongoing demand over time. As for the subject of this thread - it's price is what it is. As many have said, if there really is a volume demand then Logitech or a competitor will lower the price. I certainly wouldn't pay that price for the item in question. $50 - maybe. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
