Am I INSANE?

[jasedee]

Im looking into picking up a new DI for my monosynth and Bass guitar....

Now, I could just spend $50 on some shitty B******** DI or similar, but I wanted something decent. I've made too many bad purchases already, and I only want to add quality to my studio.

So.... I was looking at DW Fearns Passive DI



but this little beast is gonna cost me USD$390 (including shipping to Australia)

SO.....AM I INSANE?

Should I just buy a cheaper alternative, like Whirlwinds HOTBOX:



or Direct-JT (Which uses Jensen trannies, like the DW Fearn unit)



Hell, for the money I might be spending on a DI, I could buy an SH-101 or other Analogue synth...

Whaddya reckon????
