Which is hardly a bargain for such a simple module. Granted, the way
the moog stuff is made there is a lot of labor involved.  What's funny
about that is that the modusonics prices don't seem as insane as they
did a few years ago. A mere $900 for a genuine moog VCO, it's got
company with the zeroscilator and wiard, among others. Granted, these
new products do more, but, they don't say moog on the front.

Really, how does he manage to keep all that modular power under control?

A Moog noise source went recently for a more sane $112. And a vintage
901 went for about five bucks less than what the 921A went for.

Even doepfer modules routinely fetch almost new prices. Its crazy.
