so you had 2  722's there with you?

are these the 24/96 files?

thanks for doing this comp!!! i will post back once i've grabbed it and listened...

so you had 2 722's there with you?

We actually had three (Ned S. ran MK4 > V3 > 722, I think). Had there been a setbreak, I'd have jumped over to his rig. His mics were right under Michael's.

sweet!  i'll hop on when i get home from work and post my thoughts later.

Bump for the weekday crowd. My power must have flickered while I was gone since I'm not seeding anymore. Can someone open up a window until I get home and can hop back on?

I'm still seeding this..   I haven't had a chance to listen yet because I need to resamp and dither..

IMO, if you resample and dither, you are going to blow the comparison.  You will still hear a difference, but you will have affected the fundamental characteristic of the devices' sound and the test is no longer strictly valid. 

I suppose that we could do a 16-bit comp if enough people care.  In mean time, if you want to hear the comparison as it was intended, I'll B&P DVDs for anyone who wants them.

Matt or Michael,

Let me know if you want the MK4's>V3>722 for further comp.  However it's 24/48  I know run 96, I know!

I'd love to hear your recording from that night.  I don't know what it takes to add new material into a torrent.

I don't think that the 48k vs 96k will make a vast difference, ymmv.  Some claim they can hear it.

[MattD]

Ned, I'll have to get back in touch after I move. My place is a mess right now. For everyone else, I'm back seeding. It should be going until at least the end of the week.

[Tim]

you in chicago yet Matt?

[MattD]

I'll be in IL 9/7 if all goes as planned. I'm leaving DC after Labor Day, staying with a friend in Cleveland overnight, then should make it up there the following evening.

[MattD]

It doesn't look like anyone's tried to grab this in the last day or so. I'll consider it dead. I'm amazed at how even the voting turned out. I voted for the first option just to see the results, so subtract that. I guess at this level of gear, personal preference is really what matters. I'm interested in hearing comments from those who listened. If someone wants to give these files a more permanent home, that's cool with me. Read the key below and discuss.

*spoiler space in case you haven't listened to it yet*














A is the V3 ADC
B is the 722 ADC

Matt, I cannot see the results.  I did not vote, which may be the reason.  Can you post the result summary?
