>It's been my experience that products always sound better until they are >heard. It's a little more complicated: 1) Pre-release: The Most Fabulous Object In The World!!!! I'll sell my old things so I have enough money to buy it RIGHT AWAY!!! 2) Immediately upon release: a) YES!! YES!!! YES!!! or b) Sounds like shit! I like the [ten/twenty year-old antecedent] much better. [Insert much talk of "warmth", "punch", "soft-clipping", and "natural" quality of sound--double bonus points if this refers to a ring modulator or anything with a germanium transistor in it] 3) 6-12 months after release: Eh...why doesn't it do this/that/the other/isn't it true stereo/upgradable to an hour of sampling time/allow real-time control of all parameters/half the price. My creative vision is so singular that it is nearly impossible to get any sound out of this thing. Bah. 4) 12 months-5 years after release: It's okay...I guess. Sort of limited. 5) 10 years down the road: Wow! Does anyone know where I can find one of those things? I just heard an album by so-and-so and he sounded amazing! It's got a really great low-fi/warm/punchy/musical/natural sound that you just can't get out of today's gear. And it's got to be one of the early ones--they changed something in the later ones and they sound really harsh and cold. I'd pay twice what they went for new! Maybe if I could find two, then I'd be in stereo... TH
