        Yes, I guess that must be it.  I was never rich enough to afford
better than a Marshall 8080--one of those evil valve/transistor hybrids ;)
but I certainly appreciate the value of a three channel set-up.  I found
two channels a bit limiting ...

        But I'll stop before I drift any farther off topic ... :)

Cheers,
Carl
