No sparks ... just optimism. My main gripe with Technics has always been the drum sounds and the chord recognition, but since I have separate outs for the drums (to facilitate outboard tweaking) and use very few arrengements (auto, that is) .... I think the superior sound system, full size keys, and attractive layout will be just fine for a while.

I'm so sick of trying to get used to a reduced size key and horrible feel on the Yamaha (even the Tyros was smaller) and I'm not gonna do it any more ! Whew!

Tim was a true gentleman, and the kb was everything he said it was..... perfect condition - extra goodies and a great bargain.

I'll post more as I buddy up to the beast, but I only used it one night at work so far.
Stay tuned Techies ......
