  The sound of my A6 changed when I installed a replacement ASIC
board.  The new one is more lush and alive--I much prefer it.
Granted now I actually have to wait for it to warm up after turning it
on before I can play stuff that's in tune but that's OK by me.

  So it shouldn't be too surprising.  Some day folks hunting for used
A6's will talk about them the same way they do Minimoogs.  :-)

  Nope.  It's real.
