Hi Nigel.
I am one who left the technics area in 2004. I am pleased to be back with my KN7000 as after I have tried the others (Y'S) and I think the KN7 is a better all round keyboard, more user friendly and better value. It does seem a pity that there are not many UK based technics players on this forum. There are still a lot of technics owners over here but they don't make themselves known.

Regards to all
Peter B
