I loved my V2 > modSBM-1 combo, but I obviously like my V3 better (duh, that's why I run it).    Both great choices, with different sonic characteristics.  If I didn't have the V3, I'd go back to V2 > modSBM-1.

And Bean (you already know this), pay no attention to Marc - you obviously know what your ears/brain like, so stick with it.  

right as rain...but if you have easy access to a mod sbm1 or 1k, do a comparison....join me in gear slut hell, bean.  

it just so happens we have a couple v3's, a dmic, a mme, and a v2>ad1k.....so some comps WILL be done....

BUT, no matter how damn good the ad1k soundz, reliability and ergonomics are not worth it IMO

i would love to get a mod-sbm1 for 16 bit while i let the v3 shine in 24 bit!!! 8)actually, w/ in a year, that should be possible

Bean, didn't mean to shit on your parade, if you love your sound, stick with it! My bad.

As for whether it's the dither, a/d, analog stage, whatever. Something is happening in the process of converting the v2 signal into 16 bit digital that I do not like, and is not true to the v2 sound, imo. I liked the sound of v2>hhb more than straight v3, and to me, that has to say something about the process of converting to digital, to my ears. Yeah, when we have reliable 24 bit, dither won't be an issue. For now, though, it is.

no doubt, it DOES get fatiguing art times, but i think everything else about it more than makes up for it......

if i had the $$, i prolly wouldve ran psp-3>mme, but ALOT of things got me away from that combo

power, ergonomics, desgin, ease of use, blah, blah, blah....but i DO feel ya marc......

personally, i like the 402x> ad1000 the best, every tape i own of that combo ROCKS your PHACE!!!
