Ditto for me...

only with the Korg D1600. I picked mine up in a GC Memorial Day sale - fully refurbished with latest OS, 40 GB HD and 20x10x20 CDRW unit - for $600 (regularly $1399). WHAT A DEAL !!
LOVE IT !! It's portable, has full 16 tracks, all the built in effects, click track, built in rythym generator, 8 trk simultaneous record (nice feature), wave file export/import, CD burning, S/PDIF in/out, FOUR Lo-Z inputs ALL with switchable phantom power. And clean. WOW !! I would have paid full price.

There's also a user support site too http://www.korgstudios.com/forum/default.asp

I think the thing to remember in all of this is that one tends to get what one pays for.
Regards,
Steve
