Agreed and understood. I apologize if my post came off as any kind of attack on Synthetik, it was not meant to be. I intended it to be a question for the board. If it was my sampler, I would have shot the PM as soon as I saw the post.....but since it wasn't, and seeing no other objections, I didn't.......

The lack of this knowledge is exactly why I don't think it should be posted.......I think it would be natural for recent newbs that have participated in the thread to look at the photo and do somewhat of a "comparison" to what they received. With no point of reference........bad conclusions could be reached.

Point is, all of it could just simply be avoided.
