Well 800DV if the prices for vintage analog synthesizers are comming down, then that is good news for me. I may not be able to afford a Nord Lead or an MS2000, but I can afford to buy a Polysix. Okay! so some of the older gear maybe 25-30 years old, but at least it is reasonable to buy. My ARP AXXE sitll works for a 25 year old synth. I guess becuse I take such good care of it, by leaving it sit on my desk and not moveing it around, it will continue to last for a very long time.

Since I already own two analog synths I already know about vintage synths and what too expect. So buying a Polysix won't be such a bad idea. Provided of course I find one in good working condition. Who knows maybe the price for the Minimoog will drop now that the Voyager is gaining in popularity!

I think this interest in older vintage analog gear was just a fad. Now with the advent of Virtual Analog synths and software ones. The interest in vintage gear is waneing. IMO people began to realize how hard it was to buy a vintage synth with the prices and deammnd for them sky rocketing allong with some of the headaches associated with them. People began to loose interest in analog gear. Why spend $1,000.00 on an analog synth when they could spend that same ammount on a VA one.


As long as there are people like myself who still have an interest in analog synths, they will never become lost forever.

The Korg Poly-6 is certainly a good one . You can't go wrong with that one . Same goes for the JUNO-6 , JUNO-60 from Roland . Maybe even an AKAI AX-60 .
