XITE-1 first price listing
XITE-1 first price listing
found this:
http://www.thomann.de/de/soniccore_xite_1.htm
2899,- € at least a bit better than the 3200€ uvp price.
for comparision
a powercore x8 cost 1500€ @Thomann
so I think the XITE-1 is really well priced.
-It has ~4 times or more power than the X8
-the stronger chips with higher resolution
-much more plug-ins in pack: powercore is just 14. scope is almost every creamware plug-in: you seem to get the same stuff like buying a pro card(M&M,S&S Pack) + the new upcoming fx.
-not just a vst dsp bootser, but an independent VA studio blackbox.
-a freely available sdk and many freeware tools are also a +value
I think its a great deal.

So, this thing is approximately 35 times stronger than my Pulsar 1?!
In the immortal words of Slim Pickens: Yeeeeeehaw!

On the German Thomann site: 2899 EUR (inc VAT + Shipping)
On the English Thomann Site: 2699 EUR (inc VAT + Shipping)
On the German Sonic Core site: 3198 EUR
On the English Sonic Core page: 2698 EUR
Why the savings if you buy from the UK?
I think German sales tax is 19%, and in the UK it's 17.5% so that doesn't account for a difference of 500 EUR if you buy from the UK. any ideas?
Ah, on the SC site, the UK price is listed as 'Introductory' wheras there's no mention of a German/EU introductory price. Strange.

...Swedish site is 2999. So I guess I could get a free London weekend to pick up one of those.Ben Walker wrote:On the German Thomann site: 2899 EUR (inc VAT + Shipping)

You are closer to the answer than you think. Seems the .com price is excluding VAT while the .de price is including VAT. Adding those 17.5% to 2698 brings it real close to the German price.Ben Walker wrote: On the German Sonic Core site: 3198 EUR

Hmm, I'm feeling my strength for sticking to the economic plan for this year just fading away...

I usually find American stores to be cheaper then Thomann. If i recall correctly the dollar is treated equal to the Euro in most cases, e.g. a SCOPE Pro at Thomanns may be 1499EURO, but in American store it is $1499. So i hope the past is a good indication when it comes to XITE-1 ..XITE-1/4LIVE wrote:I love European humor.
Let's hope the pattern I see above continues. The further west one goes the cheaper the price.
