Topic: TL> MiniME??

[RIPJJG]

Pretty much same config/location. First night being the most different. The wind was a little noticeable the fifth night, however, I ran the MME the third night, in the same config/location as night 2-5. The MME just sounded a little muddy to me. Not nearly the detail as the UA5.

If you like the V2 and want to plan for 24 bit taping, why not a V3?

its just one of those things that I cant quite put my finger on, not to mention that the preamps in the V2 and V3 are not the same

[Nick S.]

Yeah, aren't the V3's better?

[nic]

I think that may be open to debate. . .

w/ the v2 & minime you can get the good pre and good a/d.  a lot of people aren't happy w/ the v3's a/d.  this is from what i've heard talked about on the board.  i've never ran the minime or v3....i'm just relaying what i've heard.

Yeah, with this crew somehow that doesn't surprise me

well, definately not going V2>MiniME anytime soon...it was really a either or type of situation.
V2> SBM-1...great pre and great ADC with high $$ upgrade path or,
MiniME...ok pre and great ADC with a cheaper upgrade path. . .

argh...too many options!!

one more sbm-1 for you if you haven't already seen it

I ran TL's>MME for one of the nights at Red Rocks Dead shows, all the other nights I ran TL's> UA5 Pmod. TL's>UA5 pmod definitely better. IMO.

To your ears at this particular venue, on this particular night, with this particular band, in that particular spot of the section, you may have thought the UA 5 sounded better. You cannot make an informed, thorough assessment on this one particular tape. Run this combo a few more times in a few different venues before making a "this sounds much better" statement. I think your results will vary greatly from that of the Red Rocks section.

Actually I have, and it didn't change the results. But thanks for the lesson, all these years I thought I knew what I was doing....

Hey, thanks for that nice response. You didn't state anything about having run it more than this one circumstance, hence my post. No need for the attitude.

Straight mme and v2->modsbm are quite similar to my ears fwiw.  The mme is much more detialed at 24 bit, I agree with the slight mud comment at 16 bit, but only at 16 bit!
