A fellow muso on another forum pointed this out to me...


http://www.midi-store.com/PG-Music-Band-in-a-Box-Audiophile-Version-2017-PC-p/sku42519.htm


I wonder if this is a legitimate sale, and if it could be licensed? If so it is a great price on the top-of-the-line-version!

Their advertising is saying that the Audiophile version they are selling comes on a USB 2.0 hard drive. Just noting that a legitimate 2017 Audiophile BIAB purchased from PG Music comes on a USB 3 hard drive. Maybe someone from PG Music should weigh in on this.

I've bought lots of stuff from the MIDI Store over the years never anything even remotely shady.

If I could hear the difference I wouldn't even hesitate to buy it becasue - it's cheaper than PG is offering to UPGRADE to audiophile form non-audiophile.

But with severe tinnitus in both ears the Audiophile version would be a complete waste of my money. Although if I COULD hear the delta, I'm sure a phone call to PG sales would be first thing I'd try.
