Wow, that would be really tough for me now. A year ago it wasn't as hard. I made that decision some time ago, I did not split up with my wife, but I needed space and money. Over the last 18 months I cut down to 15 synths (I still feel lucky to have so many), probably with a few more to go soon. Here are some that I don't think I'll ever give up: System-100 System-100M Steiner Parker Modular Jupiter-8 Octave Cat Pro-One + One really good modern wavetable synth: Currently XP-50. Stuff I have decided to keep, but would give up if absolutely necessary: SH-7 Micromoog TR-606 Sound Canvas Stuff I may sell one day soon: Jupiter-8 #2 Sonic Six AlphaJuno-2 with Programmer Roland EM-305 D-550 (currently FS at $450 OBO) Some of the many items I was willing to give up: MKS-80 with MPG-80 Minimoog MKS-30 Moog 15 Modular (this was the hardest to give up) CZ-101 Juno-60 Prophet-600 CS-15 2 x System-100 (yes I had 3, kept 1) TR-808 Things I hope to get back some day: Prophet-600 (trade yours for my Sonic Six anyone?) Minimoog I also really want a System-700, but I'm not optimistic that I'll ever find one that I can afford.
