Re: Korg MS-20 vs. A-106-1 Xtreme Lowpass/Highpass Filter

2006-12-29 by regimental1200

I guess I won't risk it and just keep the original.  I probably have 
one of the best condition MS-20s left in the world.  Paid a pretty 
penny for it a couple of years ago, but it basically looked like it 
came out from the box.  It would be good enough for the Pope.

I'd still like to try the A-106, but I refuse to visit my local 
dealer anymore as he's turned into a real ass.  I hate him so much 
that I prefer to buy from Analogue Haven and suffer with duties and 
taxes.
