oh yeah, and you can officially put me on the 'waiting for a Tyme Sefari' list.
i'm fully disgusted with myself by the way 
we can all put the blame squarely on TipTop Audio. |

Pardon me, would you mind sharing where you acquired your frame?
How does http://www.schroff.us/home.asp compare to Doepfer? |

Soon it's not gonna be bubble wrap you're stepping on-- it'll be modules that have spread to every square inch of your studio.

Just placed an order.
Shipping is more than the unit. |

Yeah shipping was more than the unit for me as well - I'm assuming they are shipping in 'assembled' form, so it'll be a bigger box than unassembled. Nice change from the usual though, this is shipping to me FROM canada, so no customs fees and it'll be here fast.
Apparently with these units you can flip the mounting ears to the 'rear' (turning it into the 'front') and then you can mount Frac modules into it instead if you want.
Bear in mind - these dont have power sources or busboards at all. And they are usually $500. This guy apparently just ended up with a wholesale lot that's he's dumping - not going to be a common thing I think.
So, I still wouldn't have started on Euro if these were around back in the day - so it's $35 less than a Blacet frame. Big whoop. You still have to deal with power and busboards etc. etc. And Frac modules are still black

I will not grow a large Eurorack rig. 
I will not extend to multiple cabinets of Euro. 
I will have some TipTop Audio modules racked up for beta testing. 8)
I will have a Tyme Sefari & Expansion at some point. 
I will have a Plan B programmable tap clock at some point.
It's really not going to go much beyond there. I may pick up a Dual Cyclotron and/or an AFG if I happen to bump into them on the used market at a time when I have the cash around.
But all the stuff I said in the 'not going euro' thread still remains true. Please don't anyone hold their breath on an ever-expanding Euro rig over here. It's not going to happen.
I only did this because I'm going to need to do something to support TipTop's modules, and I happened to find out about these cheap racks. Otherwise this wouldn't be happening.
It's all TipTop's fault  |

well my first intro to modular was doepfer by word of mouth. i drooled over em on AH and felt overwhelmed by the price and the strangeness of having to physically patch wires. ooohhhhh. aaahhhh.
sadly i was pretty damn broke and put the dream on the shelf. that was fall 06.
in May 07 things started to pick up for me financially and i got the modular itch again. but this time i researched it deeper and found frac!! bought my first skb, frac rack, psu and modules in June 07. the rest is history.
