Well, I still am a great fan of the Klanghelm MJUC. This is a great emulation of vari mu gear. And Tony is so honest to not even claim his models emulate a certain existing hardware - and really, this is not necessary to have a great sounding plugin. Combined with an excellent sounding console emulation like Harrison's Mixbus 32c it lets you have this analog feeling you have with real hardware. The only thing that surpasses it is the Acustica Audio stuff. Honestly, this is not even emulation of circuits, nifty dynamical convolution with volterra kernel technology lets compare you the result of actual hardware with the plugin directly,(in fact this is the whole concept of it)- at the cost of huge amounts of computation power needed. Plugins like the VIOLET CM (free), a 3-band Limiter/Compressor, are so CPU hungry that you can forget using more than one instance with less than stellar hardware. It is more like for offline usage or in a one-track mastering chain in the DAW. But, wow, it sounds great. I forget about name-dropping of legendary brand hardware units as long as I can get great results with a plugin... Yeah I would recommend to anyone with a few bucks and some spare time to buy MJUC, don't even demo it just buy it. And do the CM Magazine thing for $5 or whatever it is, and demo the Acustica Pink CM. It really does sound different than a regular plugin, it's a little bit fascinating. I can see where the Acustica hype begins.

Asshole of the first order.remember his flawed sandblaster card bullshit? I butted heads with him years ago on gearslutz .I think I called him out on using a little Mackie mixer for critical listening tests..then he said some disparaging remarks ..something to the fact that I should jump out of a plane and kill myself..Blocked that prick asap. the guys an idiot.I remember mixerman and others shredding him.badly..pretty funny.and sad

Agreed. I suggest not giving this shmuck another minute of your time. Long story short, I've butted heads with him too, met him personally, and think he's a bit of a sick puppy.

As an engineer, that's incorrect on one point, you can absolutely measure anything. In THEORY you can measure anything, but in reality it always comes down to the limits of the technology you have to work with.
Which isd why measurement gear is always being improved. It also comes down to our understanding of what the object we are testing. If we don't fully understand something how do we test it reliably. Audio is probably one of those things.....especially considering the topic of the thread.

Only if the voice in your head used a Soundblaster for maximum fidelity

(Sorry, couldn’t resist. Hope that wasn’t mean.) Yes, part of the test methodology was letting the bottles breath, outside, for a week.... in summer.
