My first Doepfer products came from this >company FAME about 6 years ago when no-one i knew was selling them in the US. Snip snip... I agree with this in a way. Back when they were just starting their US invasion with the A-100, MS-404, and MAQ 16/3 I decided I had to have one of them, probably a Maq or A-100. THye had just started advertising in the back of electronic musician so I tried to call their US number. No answer. Well, maybe they were handling other business I thought. Tried later-nothing. Tried late at night in case time zones were the problem. Tried early in the morning. Nothing, ever. So after SEVERAL weeks of trying to contact them I gave up, and as I see it know, I really didnt miss out on much...
