Sound System Disbelief!!!!!!!!

When I can buy a new computer, or a LCD color TV for less than $300 I can come to no conclusion other than the price of the sound systems is very over inflated. <br />I realize that the production is much more limited, and the work required to write the software, but I still think that they are just charging as much as they figure the market will bear. There is so little competition in the market that they can get away with it, so they do it. <br />A sound only decoder for Ho can be had for about $100. There's no way anyone can convince me that a voltage dropping network, or voltage regulator, to drop the input voltage from 22 to 12 volts is worth $200. Even if a more powerful audio amplifier is included, that's not more than $3 worth of parts. <br />Myself? Well, I'm getting out the soldering gun, make a quick trip to the Outhouse(Radio Shack) and put a Ho sound decoder in mine.
