If I ever made analog audio equipment professionally, I would add an entire series of switches and dials that weren't wired up to anything.

- WalterBright 10y agoBack in the 70's, a friend of mine created a formula where the inputs were number of switches, number of dials, and number of meters and would output the price. It was remarkably close at predicting the price of most any stereo receiver/amplifier in the stereo store. One standout anomaly was the Heathkit 250W amp, which just had an on/off switch and 2 meters.
