Now now.... My "Analogue Addicts Phono Stage" is Op-Amp based and requires at current OEM bugetary pricing in 1000pc lots of $12.25 each. Add Tinfoil & Polystyrene Capacitors for the RIAA EQ, decent resistors and a power supply, plus a J-Fet Headamp a large manufatcurer would probaly need to put in at least $ 50 - 60 in parts (including case). So I'd expect no less than $ 400 Retail.

Sadly $ 400 Op-Amp Phonostages rarely use anything as refined as what I do.... ;-)

BTW, while by no means up to the perfomance of the LCR RIAA, it's very decent.
