Subject: [yamahacs80] hello there!
Hello there,
I just joined this group of CS80 fanatics a few days ago so... it's
from me hello to everyone as well!
Some of you may already know me as Vanheckis and will probably have
seen my cs80 dedicated site (http://www.xs4all.nl/~avanheck)
I have only one CS80 :) but also a very fine CS60.
My CS addiction all started a 3 years ago when i was trying to find out
what made Vangelis' sound so characteristic. After some internet
research I soon discover the relevance of the CS80 of course and tried
to find pictures of it on the internet. From that moment I was
intrigued by all those slider on the picture but i had no idea what
this machine would be capable off. So my first thought was. ah..this is
an old machine so i can easily get a cheap one on the second hand
market. I soon found out what reality was and how rare this instrument
is(bottom line: i knew nothing) but the addiction started from that
moment onwards. After a while I'd better give up my quest for the Holy
Instrument and thought I'd better look for a second CS60 to try to get
similar results in sound. Helas 1+1 isn't 2. the CS80 has an extra X-
factor. And then, one day, there was a CS80 owner in New Zealand ready
to sell his. I still had to wait 7 months for the shipment to arrive at
my frontdoor in Amsterdam. And then...guess what! I had forgotten about
t the fact that a New Zealand plug doesn't really fit a Dutch
powersosocket ! :)
Best
Antoine
