user: You are replying to Jodi Marks about "System Choices".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Jodi,   For $2,200 you could buy a system of carefully selected
seperates that would sound far far superior than the offerings of Technics,
Kenwood or Yamaha!!! With a little reading you will find that there are some
extraordinary audio pieces at very reasonable prices. I would highly rec the
periodical The Sensible Sound. This publication reviews audio gear and
reports findings...in search of quality for the least amount of money. You do
not have to spend $3,000 on an amp to have great sound. There are speaker
systems for under $500 that favorably compare with speaker systems costing 5
to 10 times as much.
    You might also consider used gear too. Very often you can find what was
top rated gear and very expensive a year or two ago, selling for 25% of their
worth. Just invest a little time in reading and research. It will pay off.
   I wouldn't even consider buying a "shake and bake" system from a single
company. Too many exceptional products out there to settle for average. Good
Luck in your hunt. Regards, John

Write your reply.

assistant: They are made by Greg Makie who was responsible for most of Tapco's
designs ( they made small popular sound equipment about ten years ago )
and he has made a really great line of affordable high-quality mixing
boards.  His eight-bus unit for $3.8K is giving me some severe drooling
problems <grin>  They also make smaller two-buss mixers in the couple
hundred range - perfect for a small multi-track.
The products are so new and so good that I don't think there will be
many on the used market for some time and the ones that do show up have
probably met with a less than perfect "lifestyle" and are being sold for
a reason...

Write your reply.

assistant: James,
        The specs you sent out are very helpful, however one of the most
important ones, namely multi-timbrality, was not mentioned. Please don't
think I am insulting you when I ask whether or not you know what
multi-timbral means, as I don't even have a clue as to who you are, or
what you do. Basically what I need to know is how many instruments can
be accessed at the same time, and on how many different MIDI channels at
once. For example it would need to be at least 8-part multi-timbral
with 8 simultaneous MIDI channels at a minimum for me to even recommend
it to my bro-in-law.
        Anyway, thanks for the response to my previous message, and if
the board meets or exceeds those specs, you probably have a buyer.
Yours,
Joe DeVico
