ak40 vs m20 Blind Comp

(1/3) > >>

Gordon:
Figure since I had both sources we'd have a little Pepsi challenge!

JBell's source is:

Microtech Gefell M20 > Nbob KCY> Naiant PFA (60V) > Sound Devices Mixpre-6

My source is:

Neumann ak40 > Nick mod lc3 > Naiant PFA > Sound Devices MixPre-6


Both sources 24/48, onstage, dfc, din on same stand on a vark bar so inches apart.  I had to invert the phase on the m20 source (see my other thread).  Other than that the only editing was a little gain on each.  I tried to get them as close as possible to each other.

I'll go ahead and say that I find very little difference between the two.  One perhaps has a little cleaner bass but I love both.  I can either post results in a few days or leave it blind and pm which is which.

jbell:
Add a poll??

Gordon:
Did one for preference.

edit: Jbell doesn't know which is his so I'm interested in what he thinks!

rippleish20:
They both sound good and neither jumps out to me as being superior but  I am at work and listening on headphones. I will listen later with speakers etrc but you might consider adding another poll option "no preference" or such...

Gordon:
done!  Hoped to make a second question as to which source is which but don't see a way.
