Re: Thinking of dumping PT HD and going with Symphony 64 PCI-e and two 8-cores...

Hi Paul,

I might wait for the next speed bump. Then again, I've had good luck  
buying refurbs in the Apple Store, so I might go that route.

I suppose I should re-investigate RME while I'm at it. At this point  
in time, it does seem that Apogee has a cozy relationship with Apple,  
though. The V-Bus and S-Bus technology looked very interesting.
