They don't have any in stock :( Plus the RRP here would likely be $399 I'd imagine!

I love my dynamics so no comp for me, but if was going to get a comp, it'd be the Diamond.

I love dynamics too, I mainly use it to even things out, you can still hit hard and get that big boost, but the other stuff becomes more even, calmingly so :mental:

Kloppsta is selling a Diamond...
Yeah, but for that sorta money I'd rather have the Kongpressor ;)
Dude, didn't you recently say you would buy the real deal rather than the ip ripoffs?
Maybe I misread :)

As a purveyor of digital ripoffs, in the helix, it bothers me not.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Nah I'm fine with buying the odd ripoff if the original is ridiculously priced or I'm using a modeller :lol:
