<br>For me, it's not a tech thing, but the opposite- I like the warmer sounds of the analog jobbers. When the music gets tooooo "sterile" (even when it's supposed to be), it just doesn't "catch" for me, if you know hwat i mean...

Yup, like they say, "thin" is the most heinous criticism you can give a synth. FAT is good. I have a friend of a friend in SFO who got the Andromeda A6 full analog synth. It was twitchy, finicky, buggy, and wouldn't stay in tune from one day to the next. But fire up a doob and have him lay down a true, not modeled, analog thump, and wow, what a sensation. I couldn't make heads or tails of it with all the knobery! [:p]

Agreed. Fat is good.

Fat is lovely. Of course, at my size, I might be prejudiced.

I am looking to buy a vintage Jupiter 6, as soon as the price is right. Working or not, doesn't matter. If anyone hears of a good one, let me know?
