A special explanation just for bjh:

WARNING: COMPLEX MATH INVOLVED!

Here are some esoteric formulae to help you grasp what's going on in this thread:

Retail cost of PS Audio unit: $100 (actually $99.95; I've rounded up to avoid confusing you with too many digits. Explanation: "rounding up" is a complex math concept that involves adding five cents to the retail price here to get an even number.)

Estimated cost of building one from scratch: $25 (Explanation: "estimated" as used here means that this number is an estimate.)

Savings by building one instead of buying one: $75. (That's $100 minus $25 - you probably should write that down. Don't forget the equal sign!)

Explanation: someone who builds one himself and tests it to see if it works potentially saves $75 (further explanation: that number is in US dollars, not, say, Vietnamese dong or Thai baht - don't get confused here by exchange rates and the like or you'll never recover) as compared to someone who buys one at retail and then tests it.

Conclusion: Seventy-five U.S. dollars (I've spelled it out for you this time in case you are innumerate; "U.S." is an abbreviation for the United States) can be saved by not buying the unit PS Audio sells.

I hope that is clear enough for you - sorry about the math part, but feel free to ask if you need more of an explanation to understand.
