Coming soon While the OG's are having a blast, i'm trying to tamp my envy by staying busy 8) I've calibrated a pair of Fc526's and have been playing with them a bit, i'd like to put up some samples using wiz's vox, but i haven't asked him for permission yet, so... wiz is it ok if i put up some samples using your vox? I've shot out the red dots, Gar 2520's, 1731's and the AD4898's, there seems to be a clear winner IMV, there's an outside chance i could change my mind in the next couple days as i put this together and get more familiar with them? but i don't think i will. Here's some teaser pics... (4898 led's in action, 1731's in wait 8) Attachment Deleted

Of course you can use my vocal tracks.
Thanks for asking first though, that's a cool thing to do
Cheers

Haha, sorry for the long teaser, but I'm waiting on the arrival of some new and very exciting op amps to throw into the samples! (Ewww a double down! 8)

I just saw that LME49710's and 20's are going away. Bastards.

spoiler alert!! J you gotta get some of those adapter boards i pic'd in other threads, and throw those AD4898's into your spice rack, they are remarkably appealing in their sound! Also, I don't think Scott will mind me letting the cat out of the bag on this, SCOTT LIEBERS IS SENDING ME 3 OF HIS BRAND NEWLY DEVELOPED 1731 OP AMPS TO ROLL INTO THIS LITTLE COMPARISON 8) I can't wait! I have some serious love for his Red Dots, they dominate my CAPI stuff, i sometimes put a 1731 in the output position of a vp28 to smooth the (typical/expected) forward aggression a bit, but it often proves too much a "smear" IMV, i'm betting that these will be just awesome as Scott is clearly a.....

So are the 4898's cleaner? I don't want to bias anyone when i post up the samples, but they are very good, so are all the rest 8)

I just saw that LME49710's and 20's are going away. Bastards. LME49720 is identical to LM4562. They are the same part branded differently..

I was like you and had no interest in 1731's after the few I had heard. I ended up getting a a pair from Scott and I tested them in a few spots. I ended up really liking them. I was/am shocked that I like them. They are very balanced, tight and punchy. A little cleaner then the red dots but not in a bad way at all. I actually like them so much I put them in my summing buss of my console in the ACA section and Red Dots in the booster. So, now everything is going through opamps I had no interest in hearing. Funny stuff.

I like the 1731's in the FC526 a little better...just less colored. And I like the Red Dots in the mic pres.

1731 has surprised me as well (Gary Barnett version).

I have not heard it yet but Scott's version of the 1731 is suppose to be different sounding than Gary's. I think they will both rock and just be another color we need to have around!

I just finished 4 CAPI 553f Eqs. I have a couple of Scott's 1731s in the receiver position. Gotta do final calibration on them and then I'll report back.
HIJACK ALERT!!!!
Can anyone point me to a "cmrr calibration for dummies" resource?
"Embarrassed emoji"
Back to topic...pardon me.

Feedback mon! I bought around 50 red dots from Scott and he graciously sent me a pair to try out as I figure out which op amps are gonna sound best in different areas of the console. I start a record Monday morning and they'll be in play. Reports to follow.

Feedback mon! I had just enough NOS output transistors to make some for Noah and Dan Deurloo to test out. I then spent a few weeks on the quest to try to buy bulk amounts of them. Not an easy task. Some of the surplus parts vendors don't make it easy to do business with them. I look forward to hearing the feedback once everyone tries them out.
