its the notion of, buy the ua-5 so we can make money and we'll mod it for you for more money
Yeah, heaven forbid they actually make a profit. Goodness gracious.
Do you work for free, cpclark? Either they make money and stay in business, or they don't make money and go out of business. I've learned far more from their forums and speaking with them on the phone than I have here at TS.com, and generally have been happy with their products and services. I, for one, believe we're all better off with the Oade Bros in business.
Hey ShipWorthy, maybe cpclark will mod a cut-rate UA-5 for you - both preamp and digi mod to save you some money.
