Subject: In appreciation of MOTM design quality

Not to start a jihad with the dot commers but...
I've been noticing more and more issues creeping up with dot com
users, including sequencer output voltages drifting, octave switches
not calibrated in-tune, power supplies humming, panel flexing,
keyboard velocity output resolution problems, reports of excess noise
in filters unless they are relocated...
Now MOTM is not perfect (the 300 soft sync STILL doesn't work as well
as E-MU's!), but I have NEVER had any issues whatsoever with system
noise or hum or drift. Ever.
There are some who pooh-pooh the MOTM design philosophy as 'gold-
plating toothpicks', but apparently sometimes you DO get what you pay
for.
So I just wanted to thank Paul publicly for remaining true to his
vision (while giving us all a chance to voice our own design
opinions), and state that I'd rather have a trickle of superb modules
than a torrent of so-so ones. There. I feel better.
