Yeah I really miss the DIY aspect. But I wonder if that's partly down to electronics on the whole getting cheaper meaning there's a lot less people getting into DIY as a cheaper route into the scene. That said, I have also noticed the brands have largely won the consumer war and people seem far more willing to drop cash into Apple / Sony / Samsung / etc because their hardware has a desirable aesthetics. However that might also be a symptom of the electronics industry going mainstream.
