ON topic, where's my even more reduced USA price?
OFF topic, man all this wine talk makes me want to drink more of my wine. Last year I switched from liquor to beer, this month I switched from beer to wine. It's been a really good experience for some reason. I think having one of the best breweries in the world at the end of my street (beer, high quality) gave me a taste for sipping, which in turn gave me a new appreciation for wine. Something about tasting every sip rather than just guzzling stuff like some kind of barn animal.

Im expecting prices to go up in the USA this year on KT and a lot of other gear due to the recently imposed tariffs.

So what's the difference between Klark Technic and Klark Technic? I don't see these products the latter's site. |

Back on topic, the KT-2A can be found in several European dealers for 299 €, stock apparently arriving next month. It's probably silly, but I would never feel confident enough in the product to run the most important instrument (vocal) through it. You're right this is silly. |

Clearly, you never had to deal with old tube and FET comps/limiters back in the day when they were hard to get serviced and produced an awful lot of noise (because you couldn't find someone readily able to service them) so you often chose to do without them and crushed the tape instead . . . or you used VCA limiters that crushed the life out of a track. Good times. |

I often wonder how often we use something for the sound vs what it does? But than I’m the guy who never got invited back to lecture at a community college for admitting we use a piece of gear just as often for what it does wrong as right ! |

I have the KT-76 and the KT-EQP and love them both. Now I have never had the pleasure of using a real 76 or a Pultec, but I have lots of experience using plugins emulating them. I am old-school and like to track running through transformers and tubes. These two pieces of gearwork for me. I need to put some NOS Glass in the EQP tho.

Jake nobody has had any real complaints about the sonics of the KT clones good tubes couldn’t hurt. I would give Bowie a shout and see if he has any recommendations for the KT, Christian has always steered people in the right direction without breaking the bank and no BS ( when it comes to tubes). The only bad thing I have heard is the usual Behringer thing, but a guy who knows all the KT/ Midas guys recently told me that these were in the works before Bosche sold KT / Midas, they just didn’t have the coin to do anything or the resources to have their own transformers. |

Thanks Ericn! I will ask Bowie.
And good to hear that KT/Midas was already working these prior to the merger.

I was thinking about buying some Midas/ KT stuff from thomann.de and waiting a few weeks
They do ship to the US.

OK, my KT2A and KT76 arrived from Thomann.
Both seem like total no-brainers to me after processing a few different sources.
