Minor detail maybe, but PHILIPS is featured in the press ad featured for all yto see. Apologies if you think I’m nit-picking but it’s more about your site being correct.

How much is it? Do you have pictures?
How does it sound? Can you send me sound examples of mixes done on it?

Please write me to dasundjenes@gmx-topmail.de
