Losing Touch
Asvjerry, great recommendation. Any other EDM favorites?  
They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why?
Another way to go is to look at professional reviews of the gear online. Many times, the MSRP is listed there. I know because I have been frustrated by the same issue as the OP. Yes, those reviews can be dated but you get a sense of what today's p...
