Hi Chris,
thanks for playing the devil's advocate. You are of course right with "take=
it or
leave it". But given the fact that the Serge is a hand-made instrument I th=
ink it
is quite legitime to ask for modifications.
The pain in my brain - the reason for my original post - came from the fact=
that
I know the sound of the subharmonic series and I know the sound of hard
sync, both sweeped and static: They sound different, they look different - =
and
yet I have a catalogue in my hand saying that they are similar. This puzzle=
d
me, and I wanted to know if this came from my lack of understanding.
Furthermore, given the - at least for my geographical position - limited
possibility to test a Serge before spending a considerable amount of money,=
I
like to know its "warts" beforehand and ask if these are aquired or innate.=
Over time one might even get to love the "warts" of his partner, but it's b=
etter to
discover these before
or why else do you think it took Harry and Sally such a long time to final=
ly
get together?
:-)
Best regards
