Golden Age of Synths?

[JereFuzz]

I'd say the Golden Age of synths would have been the early 80's. So many beautiful analog machines.

Was there the variety back then? And obviously, there wasn't the digital presence.

For analog synths there was about 10x the selection compared to now. I prefer analog synths over digi synths.

Perhaps but there wasn't the appreciation for analog gear that there is now.

This is the golden age if price/availability apply.

Keep in mind back in the day, a lowly Boss chorus pedal was a week's pay on minimum wage and then some.e

This stuff is a pittance compared to what it used to cust, let alone the extra cool stuff.

Absolutely. And I would say that this extends to music equipment as a whole.

OK, one year since this last post ... is it the Golden Age now? It seems to get better and better ... there are so many synths I want (and some I want duplicates of) I have trouble deciding what route to go ... Arp Odyssey or Minilogue or Reface CS or Mother 32? It's scary out there
