  Currently, I have a rev 2 Prophet 5 on ol' 1226, which of course sits on a little cobbled-together stand which straddles a set of Taurus 1 bass pedals. Nice fit and strangely satisfying. For a year or two I had an awful stack: [from the ground up] Taurus 1; Mellotron; String Ensemble, ARP ProDGX; and topping it all off a Roland SH-7. How it remained standing for the duration, I'll never know. It even withstood a decent sized earthquake, which is more than I can say of many structures around here.
   All I can say about the snippits of the russian choir that I've heard, is that it sure is the most russian sounding group of indivuals I can recall hearing. Every singer is exuding pure orthodox russianness with every note they are singing. I'm afraid I'd start trying to play chunks of "Boris Godunov" when I was really working on "South Side Of the Sky" Or is this just my middle america, whitebread, knee jerk reaction? I'd love to own the Russian Choir sounds actually, but would need to have the standard choir first.
