It could be just a one-off. The other sellers still seem to hover around the $140 mark. DC-3s without a BIN rarely go for as much as $120 and that's probably why this one hasn't sold yet. He does however stand a lot better chance than the other BIN sllers.
I guess so, I've been looking to get a DC-3 for a while, but rarely saw one sell for less than $150 or $130. I guess my shock was finding one for $75. On the other hand though the DC-2's seem to be in short supply lately and lots going for closer to $200.
DC-3s in general seem to follow behind DC-2s in price, from what I've seen. Must be the "analog is better" thing -- I think that the DC-3 is highly underrated because of that. You'd think that having adjustable settings versus presets would be enough.
You're right; that's a good point that completely escaped me as I was typing that.
Apart from the exact presets, when I compared my DC-2 and DC-3 against one another, the most significant differences I noted were (a) the analog DC-2 was quieter than the digital DC-3, and (b) the wet signal of the DC-3 had a noticable midrange quality, whereas with the DC-2 it was more "transparent".
