[QUOTE="Andrew Prince, post: 58864, member: 1808"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A Hi all! Unfortunately for me I've never had the pleasure of watching a product launch from the start, of an exciting product like this, in pro audio. I've done it many times for computer software and other IT stuff. So I really don't know what 'normal' is. I too have noticed the price hikes on various websites. The first rule of business is 'supply versus demand' and I suspect those retailers are artificially hiking the price. Why wouldn't they? Demand is extremely high for this hot new product and supply is low because obviously, it's very new.
