[HW] Dave Brock's Jupiter 8 Up for Auction

[Filip Vanhuyse]

Well,don't think it's Dave's (not shure),I can't remember Dave's having a 
Jupiter 8,he was more a Korg man
I think it's Alan Davey's one,he for sure had one.

And the Jupiter 8 the best one??? Around the same time the Phropet 5 from 
Sequential Cirquits en the Oberheim OB-8 came out at around the same price 
and they were far superior.
I once had a weekend at that time with the three of them and the Jupiter 8 
was by far the lesser one.Ok, the Oby wasn't very relaible,but still,best 
sound.The Phropet 5 had the sweetest sound.Every Jupiter 8 I ever heard has 
a irritating constant background noise.

Anyway wouldn't mind getting Alan's or Dave's.

greetings filip
