Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: First modular system?

2007-05-10 by gwei solo

morning all,

does anyone have an opinion regarding which rackmount
to go for? i quite like the idea of having a doepfer
suitcase, although sound on sound's suitcase review
was far from flattering. 

i've pasted the review below. 

if there are any users out there willing to shed some
light on the matter, i would be most grateful.

thanks
dave 


"I'm quite a fan of Doepfer modules, and I'm often
impressed by their build quality, but I hope the
flightcase these modules arrived is just a blip in
their usual professional approach. It's pretty poorly
designed, badly fitting and to cap it all, the inside
of the removable lids are covered in a deep-purple
'fun fur' fabric. Imagine a 1970s funk bordello...
yes, it's that bad! And the shiny 'leatherette' outer
finish won't last five minutes in an aircraft hold, a
baggage carousel or in the back of a transit. If you
need to flightcase your beloved Doepfer rack, my
advice would be to invest in a professional road rack
case, preferably a 'shockmount' type. Expensive? Well,
yes — but so is a new rack full of Doepfer modules."
