[A6] Replace my A6?

[Tim Kleinert]

I can't believe the A6 failure rate is as bad as some folks assume.

If it would be _that_ bad, Alesis surely wouldn't be selling them
anymore, because the warranty repair costs would cut into the profits
considerably.

However, I've ordered 2 additional Andies (yes, I _do_ think this synth
is _that_ good). If these notions should be true, having 3 A6s should
statistically greatly raise my chance of having troubles. We'll see what
happens.

I just can say that Andy No.1, up to now (1 month), is a well-behaved
sweetheart compared to the Jomox Sunsyn which I bought a year ago -and
sold two months later (talk about erratic behaviour, funkyness and voice
differences...).
