We've had one for several weeks now. Unfortunately I've only heard it a couple times as I've been so busy at my day job. What I did hear sounded great. Full and rich with great shaping abilities. My studio partner absolutely loves it. Says it adds a ton of weight just running signal through it. It replaced another diode compressor that we just couldn't quiet down in our studio. This one is noise free. Wish I had more detailed info for you on the 609.

I've had one for a couple of months now. Love it. Like thirdeye said, it adds a lot of weight and smoothness to what goes through it. That said, I'm set-and-forget in my approach to my analog mix chain, so I haven't really experimented with it other than adding it just ahead of the Overstayer SVC -> Burl B2, tweaking and then moving on. Certainly wouldn't sell it.

Quite excited to get it up and running. Two words. Soldering iron. Well yeah, of course. 🙂 Said I was waiting on cable to build, right? I love this thing. Warm and just a little wooly, flexible, and the stereo image is nice and open. Kills on drums and the master. An old friend right away.

I've been hearing that it's pretty cool. It's definitely on my shortlist of compressors I'd like to buy and try. It's probably going to come down to the Heritage or the Audioscape D-Comp for me.

Man it really does sound very close on multiple sources in that video. Really impressive!

I just can't with that guy on youtube... I've seen some of his other reviews and they are painful. This interesting to me, considering I’m considering doing more. What do people want from videos? His production value is great, but he’s such a cheeseball. (I’ve seen more of his videos too) do you want to see my face? Do you want me to talk?

I’ve been told the successor and this one are basically the exact same thing.

I agree, the production value is pretty good, but the cheeseball factor turns me off. I'm sure any video you might do would be better in that context. Speaking for myself, one of my pet peeves on videos about gear are when people click back and forth between settings so fast that you don't really have enough time to hear the difference. Talking and face are fine, or not. That's more of just a personal choice thing.

Do you want to practical about it but still ACTUALLY show the sound in a nice way? then sure. For me, sound demo videos are always best when kept simple. Turn some knobs, bypass in and out a few times. The rest of it is just opinion and preference. Now...if you want to be YouTube personality, then go for it! Can pay out pretty damn good..

It's distracting. I could care less if he's a goofball. If you can, try and come up with something with a way of doing it that is uniquely or genuinely you. A good majority of people just want to hear how something sounds but it couldn't hurt to give more of a presentation along with descriptions, etc. Also, don't forget to direct people to the forum for discussion.

John, Good question you're asking about "what do people want".
I don't have 'the right' answer, but I do know what I happen to prefer when I'm interested in a piece of gear:
Something just direct & to the point. The fewer words, the better. Several sources of audio running through the gear. 10-12 mins top on total running time.
Something like this...

Yeah, I often wonder if my last few videos were way too long. You can add time links in a comment which you can pin to the top of the comments section so people can skip to key parts of the video.

YouTube chapters is the updated way of doing it. It shows up in the video progress bar, pretty sleek!

That does sound really close. I turned the video off after the sound samples.

For me, when gear is reviewed with just one style of music, and that music is really high tempo rock or metal with no breathing room, it’s really hard for me to gauge how useful the gear is going to be for me. Same thing when people just slam the heck out of a compressor with a fast attack and release. Just makes the review completely useless.
Give us something with breathing room, use the full feature set of controls so we can actually hear how the piece of gear reacts to transients from different instruments. Maybe show it being used in context instead of just solo’ed out.
Maybe have one or two songs or instrumentals that you always use in your review of the gear so we have some sort of known base to judge from. Hey here is the mix with what gear I have. On this version you can hear so and so gear on the electric bass. That sort of thing
