No doubt but the price of a vintage 2600 is insane these days. I kick myself for not buying one 25 years ago when they could still be had for cheap, at least compared to today. The TTSH 2600 clones sound great as well, maybe a bit closer to the real McCoy. The extras on the B2600 are nice to have as well. For 600 USD, it's a no brainer.The copy of the 2600 is nice. But when compared to a restored arp 2600 there is difference. That said, to me, the price difference does not justify the need to have an arp as I dare say the uli 2600 is nice
My friend has an original, he got it when it was next to nothing price wise. He would have picked more at the same time he got the one had he known then what the current price is going for now.No doubt but the price of a vintage 2600 is insane these days.

The Behringer minimoog knockoff sounds pretty good too. I haven't heard any of their other synths.
That’s a bummer. I fear the same will happen to me via an earthquake. It is California and all.I can remember the early days of eBay and all of the "ARP 2600 - needs servicing" listings. Damn.
One of my old bandmates had a 2600 and Odyssey that came from the Hit Factory in NYC IIRC. He lost all of his gear in a house fire over a decade ago. He lost a bunch of cool vintage synths and an insane old school punk rock record collection. I used to love noodling around on that thing.
If I had the space, I would keep getting these chunky sounding little boxes. This is where I think SMD electronics really shines.The Behringer minimoog knockoff sounds pretty good too. I haven't heard any of their other synths.
