damn. a bit out of my reach. i'm down for going team akg, just got to start saving. i like most every 480 sourced show i own. grant it there was some better gear behind them(opposed to the w-mod UA5)
guess i 'll go search the archive ro see if there is a show i i like with that source.
Thanks,
Brian
WARNING! Purely subjective opinion follows...
Based on what I like to hear, I'd rank the wmod UA-5 higher than most "high end" gear when used with the 480's. I don't like the sound of the Grace pre's with them, and never have liked what the AD-20 and AD2K+ do to them with any pre. In order of preference, my top 3 combos with the 480's are as follows:
480>PSP-2
480>m148
480>wmod UA-5
480>m248
You're not losing much, IMHO, by going with the warm ua-5 as opposed to a V3 or other upper tier gear.
