Thank you, Peter!
The tone of the thread has become significantly more positive thanx
to you.
The bottom line is that the 200e looks beautiful and is sooooooo
tempting, but is also soooooooo expensive! I must confess that most
of the negative remarks I make about the machine are a defense
mechanism: they help soothe the frustration I feel about not being
able to afford one, but in all honesty, if it was 50% less expensive
and I didn't have my other financial commitments, I'd get one.
Now, Chris is right, too. Most of us have not had quality time with
one, but we have listened to recordings of it. I was talking to
Guido the other day, who was telling me that "Touch" by Subotnick
exemplifies the sonic virtues of the 200. If that is so, well, it's
not that impressive.
