Tiptop Audio - Stackables review

On VICMOD

"Along with my Z-DSP came 20 of the Tiptop Stackable patch leads. That is, the plugs on these leads allow you to stack plugs together, much like banana plugs do. The quality of the cables feels excellent, the plugs provide good grip, and stacking one on top of the other gives a reassuring click and feels solid."

Clavia Nord Lead 2 49 key Synthesizer

via this auction

"The incredible Nord Lead synthesizer is taken a few steps further with the Nord Lead 2. It uses the same synthesis technology and sounds as good as the Nord Lead, but adds a few nice new touches. These features include a ring modulator, OSC 1 can sync with the white noise generator, increased LFO and arpeggiator waveforms and patterns, distortion in the squelchier punchier filter section and 4 individual outputs."

Arp Axxe 2313 Synthesizer

via this auction

"rare arp axxe 2313 which was made in 1975. It's not the newer orange and black one which had different boards and sounded completely different. This one sounds more like an Arp Oddyssey and looks just like the Arp Oddyssey II."

I never heard this claim before. Anyone know more about this?
