While I am tempted to just go ahead and attempt my first synth anyway, with cold/allergy 60's using STE - I will probably find myself going down the street and buying my razzle dazzle once again. Just as I was so proud to have graduated to a point of knowledge capable of a successful RP/I/E synth - E becomes almost impossible to come by. My place on the Hive ladder could not be better defined as it is now, posting a question regarding my potentially dishonest 'friend' neighbor/dealer and his sometimes Mickey Mouse product while others are pioneering their way to a successful Pulsatile Release extraction.
