Re: System 500?

The go at the rich was a stab at the fact that if Behringer releases these, I cannot see how the quality will be lower than Roland, when Roland only gives 1 year warranty on these, and Behringer 3. Just looking at the Behringer designs it looks like they will be using higher quality 3.5mm jacks. I a...

Re: System 500?

The trouble is that there is no reason that Roland should be charging the price they do for the System 500 modules with modern manufacturing and old circuits. So it looks like Behringer is going to clone the lot of the 100m modules for $49 to $99 each See here: https://ask.audio/articles/behringer-r...

Roland in Australia is already inflating their TR-8S Price

What a shame I had a TR-8 for a while and got rid of it as it was missing what looks like has been added to the TR-8S, making it a worthwhile purchase, and I know it's early however, but: SOS has an article with the list price of the TR-8S as $699 USD in the US: https://www.soundonsound.com/news/rol...

Re: Roland is Inflating their Pricing!

There's a silver lining to every cloud - I manage to pick up the last one in stock at my local Store DJ. Good for you I don't have a problem with that at all, I posted on here so someone would at least benefit. My argument is that in order to knock a price down by that much ($2800 -> $1300), the pr...

Roland is Inflating their Pricing!

Why are Roland screwing the early adopters of their gear? I purchased a JD-XA in Australia for $2800 ($2799) about a year ago, now all of a sudden the price has dropped to $2000 ($1999). Even worse than this however is that they have a special on now where you can buy one for $1300 ($1299)! https://...
