[QUOTE="W. Mark Hellinger, post: 84565, member: 692"] Re: Competition: fair/unfair Or are the value of the tools of the trade being a perceived perponderance of the value of a service... far exceeding the value of the craftsman? Likey true in a materialistic and largerly abroad disconnected craftsman based society. But I suspect there's a glimmer of hope that craftsmanship has some re-emerging value (beyond the craftsman's displayed tools of his trade); otherwise, why the emergance of all the upscale resturants downtown? Or is most of what's driving that got little if anything to do with craftsmanship, but rather is atmosphere based on displayed & perceived to be hip material objects in a revitalized (high rent district) area... possibly largely fueled with grants... and basically has little or nothing to do with craftsmanship except as a "maybe inclusion" in the over-all picture? If so... I suspect it's a big mistake to downsize from analogue to digital mixing boards. [/QUOTE]
