Re: EDP. sound quality in old machines versus new onesfromwithinOrville...



Aside from the word of alto music, is there any reason(s) that the 
old-style
blond boxes are "far better"? Just wondering. Exactly what are the
functional and structural differences between the blonde and the black
echoplexes. I am not uncomfortable with installing software via midi ports.
