It's one fine classic. I'm partial, because I bought the 8080DB new in 1975 and have loved the sound and aesthetics ever since.I almost sold my 9090DB because at some point this hobby should pay me back. After a weekend of listening while offers came in I considered myself an idiot and pulled the ad.
