Congratulations Indigorose! It might be an advantage to get the table running for a while and then adding the Schroeder later. You'll be able to know what benefits each is bringing to the music.
Good questions, Groovey. I think part of the reason for the long wait is due to Chris's efforts to get the DD controller working the way he thinks it should. I heard the 360 back in March and he was still tweaking the circuitry and software. Still, a wonderful sound!
