Right, so, a few weeks ago (actually, well over a month ago - dang, time flies...), i stumbled upon a German eBay auction for what seemed to be an Apogee Symphony I/O, a Symphony 64 Thunderbridge, and the cable to connect the two, sold as faulty / untested. I turned out to be the only bidder (after there were none, the first time the listing was put up), and especially after seeing some "sold" prices both on eBay and Reverb.com, i decided a bit under 200e was worth taking a chance on. About a week later, i picked up the package from the post and, as it turned out, at least the main box, the Symphony I/O, was actually working perfectly fine!..
I had to cobble together a DB25 male to 8x XLR "pigtail" to be able to test the line inputs & outputs, but that was a small price to pay for confirming the functioning of this thing. Well, that, and the OLED display situated between the two knobs on the front seems to be dead (replacement's ~20 bucks) - only discovered that upon seeing a video how to switch the thing to "USB Audio" mode. But let's see what's inside this then, shall we?
