Re: Re: Possible strange question about SMT

Bravo to Paul and Neil for setting the record straight on this.  Some of you 
out there (and I mean "out there") seem to be insinuating that SMT is bad.  
Why?

We all agree that MOTM is the best designed modular synthesizer.  Possibly 
the best ever built.  So what's the problem?

And, most of all, why are people here second guessing Paul's decisions?  If 
you know so much about it then why buy MOTM and why don't you just build your 
own "better" synthesizer that is thru-hole.  Or, better, yet, use 
point-to-point wiring on turret boards since old guitar amps are built that way, and 
everyone knows they "sound" better.

Yes, I'm being sarcastic here.  But as others as have said, if you don't know 
what you're talking about then why talk about it?  I don't really care WHAT 
is inside an MOTM module as long as it sounds good and is reliable over the 
long term.  Paul knows more about this than us, that's why he's building and 
we're buying.  And yes, I have a lot of electronics experience and a degree in 
electronics manufacturing technology.  That and $0.35 and I can call someone who 
cares.

And if any of you still disagree then I will gladly sell you $1200 ac power 
cords for your MOTM that will make it sound soooooooo much better.
