    If I won lotto and cash wasn't an issue, I have an extensive list of old analogues I'd buy, not necessarily to use (though I have my favourites and I would - Lamm memorymoog, I'm so looking at you), but more as museum pieces in a rather fine collection of vintage electronic antiquities.

    However, this is just nuts :wtf:

    egads talk about overkill... imagine the heat coming off that thing...
    probably eats power like a transistorized T-Rex... your a/c unit would be doing backflips...and farting

    oh well.. you could happily twiddle yourself to death with it....

    I'm probably not making much sense. but then.. :bow:

    @Judge Dredd did you try asking for a limit increase on your credit card for that one ? precious indeed

    No denying as a piece of history it has value, but f*ck me, not $125k worth.
    You could buy three cs80s, or five JP8's for that :woot:

    I don't do cc's, but I did get a spam asking for a kidney, two arms and one leg :rofl:

    Oh, and :bow:

    Looks sci fi enough to keep The Al1en interested, but honestly, for the money, I'd rather have a memorymoog, prophet 5rev2, Jp8, Obx and a cs80

    That thing looks capable of un/scramble ferengey transmission codes.

    As one of few survived, abominable Dr. D.E. Camerons toys.. "played" loudly, publically.. can manifest serious, long-term shifts in mental patterns and immediate behavioral changes. Instant Bolshoi in da hood.

    In "audio enjoyment enthusiast ("audiophilia") bizzaro world"; 126k is pocket change.

  18. ...although at times gear can inspire me to play in a way that I might not have otherwised come through to me. It happens with different guitars, the music just comes spurting out of the aethers when teamed up with certain instruments, things contrived that were seemingly meant to be borne out of certain pairings. Then again, without the ear it just couldn't come to pass, not possible.

    The ears, or the brain? That squishy mass, more or less capable of (with xy ms latency) "internalizing" perceived "external"; and, in some occult manner to rational mind, true kinetic functions (with xy ms latency) engaging bodily parts, "materializing" or "manifesting" personal ideas, thoughts, emotions.. "internals".. to "external". "Dream come true (feedback machine) device". Ears are "just" biomechanical sensory part of tool set?

    But I concur. Drumming on kitchen pots, glass bottles, plastic buckets, steel drums, electronic or acoustic drums.. re/sampling on mpc, elektron, in "vst"/daw.. poking melodies, chords, drones.. on digital "approximation" synth or analog/digital "material" one.. momentarily convey (rules of engagement/workflow) "inspiration" in different directions, in different ways, with different results. Being able or lucky enough to enjoy all sorts of "diversities", helps greatly.. In many aspects of life.

    At the end of the day, only that matters is ones manifestation of his emotions/thoughts. Qualitative, quantitative.. reasonable, profitable.. accordingly to invested time. Right? Or someone righteous selfish enjoyment of doing *it*. Contented rummage of moment in process. First and foremost, for self. Daily ceremony of "recognition and gratitude", for be able to do it your (in partially hungry "world"; spending 126k on rarity synth, or 1m for set of speakers, or..) way. All in all, for here and there, "tasty bite" of "own" (ruminative emotions, thoughts, ideas.. personas..) feedback loop tail.
