Wow, are you guys friggin' kidding me? Is your bar so low that you consider making $500 in a "under a year" to cover adequate ROI? Or is it $1500 when you add in the cost of the XP computer and a handful of Behringer AD/DA? You "can't ask for more than that"?
Really? That's the deal for you? Good news. Just increase your rental income by about 2000% per year and you may get close to the poverty line for a family of four in the U.S.

Those haven't been fixed in the years since I reported them, and he subsequently "banned" me as a customer. What makes you think he will fix anything for you? Because you "respectfully" sit and wait for him to do it? The only way ANYTHING got done was people beating on him to do it. Good luck with the "wait and see" approach - especially now.

Yeah, you can spend a *lot* more money and get something that sounds a little better but my gripe has always been with SAC's difficult-to-learn UI not with the way it sounds.

Yes, SAC has been worth the investment. If I were buying it today I doubt SAC is the way I'd spend my money (too many new options that have appeared since I first invested in SAC) but I don't count SAC as a loss at all. Three years ago when I first got into SAC it was clearly better than the options I was looking at in my price range (which was largely an A&H GL2800/48 console; so glad I didn't go analog even with all of SAC's warts). Today, I'd probably spend my $15,000-$25,000 on some GLD consoles and stage boxes, but I didn't have that option back then.

Yeah, SAC has a lot of problems. Most of them can be worked around. Only a few (such as name-brand recognition) are fatal. Again, once people get past the point of "if it does the job you need on the day you bought it and you don't expect any more from it" SAC really isn't that bad.
