Topic: Who all's got the V3 optical mod?

I paid too much  1570 shipped..
Yet on the other hand, it is 2 years no interest instore credit.
I figure it will be paid off well before the 2 years and just write the extra I paid off
as interest anyway.

if you buy it today you should be eligible for the $35 mail in rebate from grace too.

WOW $35?!?!?! That's like a 2.5% rebate!!!

yeah, its not super awesome, but its still $35 - better than nothing.

i got mine for $1395 shipped.  i never tried for lower tho.

Seems like the price that's been floating around lately.  I think mine was a little cheaper, but I didn't have a rebate at the time.  So it all works itself out.

the good thing is that most of this equipment holds it's value for the most part.

I'll gladly pay a few bucks more to support Cascade

where the hell did you buy from??  I got quotes from cascade, dale pro audio and SS.  and all were much lower than that.

Do any of those places offer in house credit though?
I did not see any mention of that on those sites.

and for 170 more, it is not like I was raped.

i paid new in dec 03, 1325+195 for optimod=1520

[caymanreview]

ive got 1395 in mine, 1200 used, and 195 for the optical mod, so i did pretty good, but i would rather have the same thing new for the same price tho. there is nothing like having new gear

[Tyler McGhee]

yah but after they do the mod, it's basically new again.  with a new warranty as well!

Still, it's always better to be the first one to open the box.

i paid new in dec 03, 1325+195 for optimod=1520

I paid $1475 new in October 02 + 195 for the optimod = $1670      Well worth every penny.  My favorite piece of taping gear out of everything I've ever owned.

[caymanreview]

as one of the biggest sluts  in the past year or two, i can happily say i love my V3 and havent considered selling it even once. worth every fucking penny, and i would have happily paid more
