yeah... the DW8000's fraternal twin, the sampling DSS-1, is a nice one
too... some GREAT sounds... the delays are amazing and it's a very warm
synth, but the disk drive is pretty slow and it weighs a TON; it's no CS-80,
but when i first got it i was 16 and couldn't get it up the stairs into my
room!

i recently had to pay someone back $200 after i drove an hour to meet him,
he brought the DSS-1 home, and when he tried it out it didn't recognize ANY
disks. some how within about 48 hours of me testing it, the disk drive
managed to burn out a cap by it's power connector :\   i doubt it was on my
end and i know his apartment's electricity is all wonky [i also heard his
guitarist talking about dropping something after taking it out of the car...
i wonder what he could have been talking about]... i even replaced the cap
and it still wouldn't work... but i didn't find anything else wrong with it.
synth works fine, drive won't spin up.

so now i've got to replace the drive, and then find someone to unload this
thing onto :(    [any takers?]

- nate... if i don't go for a Bass Station i'm looking at pretty cheap,
maybe i'll take a look at a DW-8000 :)
