- The SA76D does add a softer syrup to the source along with additional low-mids. it either works or not. Again, I think it's no fail on legato sources like Vox, violin, etc. - I have an SA-76A-5 coming this week. When I get it, I'll post a comparison of Vox on all three. You described exactly what I hear on my SA-76A-5. It's like a syrupy blur that smooths and extends the source. Like the audio version of the image below. It's a beautiful thing.  Very common sight in the 60's/70's. Especially around Laurel Canyon and Mulholland. Let alone The Strip.. Chris |

I want the Stam D in 500 format. I'm not overwhelmed by the tube output of the SA 76D+, and would like to shrink the basic Stam D to 500 format. I think the rev D is more applicable, across the board, than the A. It's smoother with less brightness. The D is like a Lincoln Towncar and the A is a Chevy Camaro. I pretty much agree with both your posts in this thread, and see your point on the sweet spot! If we are using car analogies, The 1176 A revision is the Corvette The 1176 D revision is the Charger and the 1176 F revision is the towncar. The G and H revisions are K Cars. (except for the 1178 which shines like magic on certain applications) OK -- So, you're saying the F is the Towncar?? You people spend my money like it's your own! Damnit! That's why I'm migrating to 500... |

That's why I'm migrating to 500... Sorry bro! LOL the 1176A and it's true clones are like they rake all the presence and high end and crunch it up into pixie dust that gets sprinkled over everything The 1176 D revisions are punch monsters. That's wy they're so killer on bass and shouty vocals. Andolutely killed on snare too. the 1176 F revisions are finesse with enough LPF out of the compression circuit that its the smoothest ride. And if you're sticking to the 500 series, don't forget you have 76 options in that format from Stam and Hairball as well as others! |

Thanks, Ward.
Yes; I have the Stam 76A in 500 as well as the Hairball 76D in 500. I'm really hoping that Stam produces rev D and F 500 format as well.
Fingers crossed!
