My RS7K. It's like having live in a box.

For it me would be......

RS7000
Korg Prophecy
I even have a lot of love for my Alesis Fusion 8HD - the VA Engine in particular is rather beautiful.
Reaktor 5
Reason with my Bitword Wavefront Refill.

the best deal I ever got would have to be the juno-106 for $200 USD off of craigslist. it's in fantastic condition too. I almost passed on it too cause it didn't have a power cable and the dude rigged up some kind of home made redneck power supply using alligator clips and wire, it was scary looking. but I bought it and got a power cable at samash.com for $9.

I bought a electribe ea-1 for $59 at guitar center once and after playing with it for a few days realized it wasn't even worth that much to me, couldn't stand listening to it any longer than that, so I sold it for $100 to a kid on craigslist. I'm kinda mean like that I guess... but $100 was still far below anything on ebay.

Not to rub salt in your wounds db2, but I bought a Mono/Poly at a used shop in NYC in 2002 for $500. That was top dollar back then. Buying old analog gear in the city ain't cheap.

I'm just trying to point out that buying vintage gear is an amazing investment. $1200 for a Mono/Poly today will likely be an unheard of cheap price ten years from now.

What are you smoking?
In mosts stores i've been in here in europe/uk, i always see a mono/poly. Yeah, it's a nice little synth, but classic valuable vintage? really? i mean, i could most likely get a bunch of them at 300 bucks a piece. I bought my first in 2001 and paid around 400 bucks. What makes vintage gear valuable is the quantity, and you can pretty much get a mony/poly whenever you want so believe me, people paying sky high prices for a mony/poly is just not going to happen.

And to go on topic for once, a legit Logic 8 Pro package for 100 bucks or a Mattel Synsonic for lunch money.

Spec sounds effing amazing. Honestly one of the best synths I've ever heard. No freezing yet.

Hey I'm in Montreal now.

and here in the united states I've never seen one in person, so it all depends on where you are. look on ebay for the going rate. I've seen them go for $1200 on several occasions.

on a side note a friend of mine in ohio once found one in their parents closet and they said they could give it to me, so they put it in a box and shipped it without insurance. damn thing never arrived and never got returned to them. that was about 8 years ago...

I'm guessing that's a chair unless you actually bought someone called aeron.

Well, the exchange rate is awesome for us so 1200 bucks isn't really that much (it's almost 50% lower than ten years ago, go figure) but it's still alot for a money poly, so it'd never going to be worth twice that.

I helped my friend snag one from us ebay for 340 bucks + shipping just a few months ago and it works just like it should.

If a Mono/Poly can be had for $400 - I suppose that's good news for db2. But, I've never seen one go for that cheap.

I'm on the hunt for a Roland 104 sequencer to control my M/P.

2 UAD-1 cards
and just now
a new UAD-2

New v5.0 driver wraps them all together.

I put some new tubes in my emx a while ago and it's like having a new, improved electribe. Also my R3 is turning out to be a good purchase, versatile synth engine with good fx and a few tricks up it's sleeve. The midi interface on it has saved me lot of headache.
