Does anybody have a clue if analog rytm mk1 price is expected to drop just like A4, or mk1 will be off the market as soon as mk2 arrives?

#2

No idea. Thought it would have happened already, tbh.

Maybe some retailers will clear their stock once MK2 is out, but I have a feeling AR sells better than A4, so you may have to be quick.

I have a feeling they’re going to stay in demand for a while as quite a few people I know (including myself) really don’t like the look or the new form factor of the Mk 2’s

So noone knows. I was wandering because rytm with current price is above my budget so i have to hope for kower price what may not happen or go with more budget option

Start looking already.
I bought one from a store in Texas for $1000 delivered.
They had it on demo for 2 months.
Looks like new, feels like new and has full 3 years warranty.

I’m not psychic and I’m just working from memory, but I also got a sense that there just weren’t as many Rytm MkIs out there as normal.

So I bet there are good deals to be found (I think I’ve seen used prices drop a little on Reverb), and I ended up going in a different direction (Vermona DRM-1), but my guess is that there weren’t as many Ryms in-stock for sale, and there were more Analog Fours out there, just based on production cycles.

Also a guess, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some MkIs turn up somewhere and one of the major retailers does a closeout sale by buying up any remaining stock that turns up in warehouses.

who is the dealer? UK/US?

Meanwhile in Australia prices are still firm :hm:

It’s much newer than the A4, and tbh, it’s killer. I don’t think you’ll see a price drop on mk1’s until the new version is out and they are simply clearing old stock.

Doubtful, there were very little stock here in Canada to begin with and L&M (big national music chain) is all out. The A4’s were heavily reduced (-$500) as the stores had lots of them, the OT only saw a $50 reduction.
