IMO there's nothing wrong with it, I just think it's not worth the money. I think it lists at like $2k...
I tell you what I did, although it may not help many people because they may not live in a city with a competent Akai Tech, I bought a broken 4000 for relatively cheap off of Ebay, got it fixed by Bruce Forat (forat.com) then had extra money for other things (I had roughly a 2k budget at the time) |
The reason I'm looking at a current model is that my good wife is getting me this a midwinter festival gift, and I wouldn't like to expose her to the potential minefield of purchasing pre owned audio gear. Also, I like new, and I like warrantees, and (this doesn't apply to 4k, but a lot of people champion the 3k) if i never see another zip drive, floppy disk, or scsi CD-rom I will be a happier man.
Thanks for your input though, for somebody in a different purchasing situation, this might be a great way to do it.
It is really difficult to get objective information / advice on the subject of newer mpcs, even here, and on the mpc forum.
