I'm on the list because I have an S-760 (and an S-550) and I still use them from time
to time, though less and less as it happens. I like to keep in touch with discussions that
are relevant to me.
I have some great S-760 sample libraries (eg Spectrasonics stuff) and I don't have
time to do conversions of all of these for EXS24 or Kontakt.
I fully respect the old hardware for what it is and what it can do, but being able to run
several GB of samples on an 8-core Mac (as opposed to 32 MB on an S-760) serves my needs
just fine.

Henry Ford once said that if he had asked people what they wanted, they would have said
"a faster horse".

But the D/A's in most cases our inferior to
the S760 unless you have cotton in your ears. Also the Filter in the S760 is better as
well, and perhaps a coincidence the music being made with hardware samples was much better
than 90% of the pure crap we hear now in the box.
YMMV

>> No software sampler sounds near as good as the S760 either. I have 2 back in my
setup.
I have to disagree with that.
Software samplers these days are incredibly powerful and they sound superb.
I use Logic's EXS24 and Kontakt and they have capabilities that the S-760 can't
even dream of.

You don't even need s-video.
The S-760 has a composite video output and all you need is an RCA to RCA cable
(preferably co-axial cable) and you can do straight into any TV or monitor, using Video
In. That's how I have mine set up.
