Big City Music in the USA. Bought my Maple AE from there and had no problems at all.

Hope this helps!

I live in the USA, but have used Big City Music, and will tell you they do indeed have very good service.
Music can Name the Unnamable and Communicate the Unknowable.

'I am... everything is... changed... they're calling... your face... interwoven... who is...' Patient mumbles inaudibly to a tune (sounds like 'Thanks for the memory).

I just purchased an EB Voyager from Sweetwater (it arrived yesterday...could life be any better?), and it was a very smooth transaction. And it came with OS 3.1 installed.

I got mine from sweetwater too and had no problems. as usual when ordering synths though, if I want it new I always say "leave it factory sealed" or for them to make sure it's factory sealed. I know this sounds redundant, since the price you're paying is for 'new', but you'd be surprised sometimes when you get a package and it's not :wink:

Just got my RME in the mail from Alto. Chris was a pleasure to deal with, the price absolutely cannot be beat (several hundred dollars cheaper than I have seen elsewhere), and the product arrived 2 business days after I placed the order. Definitely on the ball...

Hey John, whats up?

There are about three Alto music stores. The one in Middletown, one in Monsey, and the other in Wappenger Falls. Its been a while, but I used to frequent the one in Monsey, circa 87. I worked as field service tech and my travels in Bergen county/upstate NY took me in the vicinity of the store often. Although my own Voyager was purchased at Rogue Music NYC and accessories at Two Lines Music, the folks at Alto were pretty cool.

Regards,


Lawrence
