I have long wanted a VIPod but always found them going for outrageous prices. I was able to find a UK version for a reasonable price and bought it. A couple learning points for me.... I always thought it was a "vie-pod" when really it is a "6-pod". A pod of 6 LIN6s if you will. I was also very surprised by how heavy it is. This thing is solid as heck and I am surprised that they didn't sell more. This particular model is a 6PODMA-UK with a DOM of September 15, 2011.
