The Unfairchild nails the compression/attack/release characteristics - but it sounds like Cinemag/JJ when pushed (which is a polite way of saying"it cant be pushed") which sucks because again, thats why you use a tube based vari-mu. We actually tried to buy one without the tubes and iron because everything else about it is pretty spot on. UTA really worked hard to make it look real both inside and out and they spent some serious coin on the R&D - supposedly there are 100 units + currently in service. We only know of 2 or 3. At a price of 10k its still out of reach for 99% of folks out there and is still gonna get put to the ropes by things that are cost 1/3rd of the price. If Stam brought the prototype to Nashville we would certainly invite him to attend our Tracking Room party and bring it along. We could do a quick 15 min shootout between it and the real thing and post the results to RGO. There will be plenty of golden ears in the room- Maybe your argument is that he's claiming to sound the same...which I wouldn't expect it to...at all.

While I'm too far away, Stams FB page lists a stop at east side music supply in Nashville tonight. If anyone is going, it sure would be great to hear feedback later on what his Prototypes of the Stamchild, 76ADG and SA 1073eq sound like.

I have a couple stam 1073eq s on order and would love to see them in the flesh before putting a deposit on this but this is very tempting. Been looking for a deal on a manley varimu but no luck and this is about the same $. Looking forward to user reports Mike

Been looking for a deal on a manley varimu but no luck and this is about the same $. Looking forward to user reports Mike There are a couple on Reverb at around $2900 with make offer. Reverb reports the completed listings at $2,335 — $2,670 so the only thing you have to fear is a counteroffer.

That's not why I use a tube based Vari-Mu. I've been barely tickling the meters on a Vari-Mu (manley) on mix buss for 20+ years. Heavenly. We can help you overcome this disability Really? Please elucidate me....

Just saw Stam on Warren Huart's feed, live from NAMM. The Stamchild sure looks cool.

If my little SA73 is any indication, you'll love the Stam 500 series. The SA73 just plain sounds right, more importantly, it feels right.
