I'm surprised at the difference in these...

I'd say I prefer the Apogee sound.  The mids (piano, etc) seem nicer.  More "upfront" in the mix.  Is this possible?  That is just a first impression, though.

The sound is very nice overall.  Though I'm getting into more transparent (omni) sounds lately.

Sure.  I actually like all three sources about the same, but all for very different reasons.  I don't think it's bad at all, and I would have been more than happy to go home with any of the 3 sources.

That was my dead give away, the upfront, in your face tonality.

Me likey   :drool:

The v3 and psp3 sounded very similar, however, do I dare say I liked #2 better than #1 (did I really just admit I like a grace sample?   :scared:   )

I'd be interested to know how much of the "upfront" sound is due to the ADC and how much due to the preamp.

This is different than I expected.  I thought most (modern) gear would be pretty similar.

I guessed wrong the V3/PSP3 clips as well.  I was absolutely certain, too, and started to think to myself, "it's time to start looking for a PSP3". 

Glad I guessed wrong. 

Thanks for putting this together, Dirk.

Out of curiousity, wonder how they'd compare with differing mics?  Obviously diff mics present their own distinct qualities that would intermingle differently, I assume?
