I have an sp-808n and i love it..usually i record to my 4 track and than 
dump it down to my sp-808 and chop it up..it is a fantastic underated 
device that will be much more apperciated in the future...despite it's 
stigma as being a beat orientated machine. ( which is totally false i use 
it for experimental soundwaves and the like) i also have used it in 
conjuction with my waterphone..i sampled and layered the sounds of the 
phone to each pad..while i bow i allow the bow to pass thru the d-beam 
which triggers of loops and the like..a cool device that has many uses..I 
SAY!

AMS and J&S Music are my favorite m-o suppliers. Recently got a defective 
box 
from AMS, and they shipped me a replacement BEFORE requiring it to be 
returned...in fact, they mailed me a prepaid UPS  will-call ticket at the 
same time as they UPS'd my replacement!
