Re: [xl7] Re: Sound rom prices

its not wrong to try and find deals. But mainly I think you are not being realistic to compare the price of a vastly reduced in price XX-7 unit with the cost of roms. Anyway, there are some deals out there and even some people might sell you a rom used. What are you looking for?

  Thanks for the reply but that doesnt answer my question. FYI I do my
  own sampling and editing with my ASR10 so I know what is involved. I
  still believe E-mu could lower the price on the roms a little. Anyway
  Im just trying to find any deals that I might have missed. Is that so
  wrong?

  Thanks
