Because nothing says "I have lots of money and am sort of confused as to how to spend it" like Bose.

Maybe a couple of small scratches, but thats because these mics are chick magnets.
Girls always up on Andy tryin to grab these mics, the scratches are from their wedding rings.

It started shipping late last week.  I'd hope the pres are bit better than the UA5, considering the price. ;)

Looks like a nice alternative to the SD 744, at quite a bit less than cost, in a few years these things will be alot cheaper hopefully.

And if it had a bit perfect digital input I'd be all over it.  Although I am trying to decide if I really care or not that it resamples. ;)

What if you just ran straight xlr in? and bypassed the V3 would it resample?

In that case you're feeding it an analog signal and the R4 performs the ADC internally, so...no resampling.  Only if fed a digital signal from an outboard ADC will the R4 resample.  At least that's my understanding.

Yeah, resampling only occurs over a digital signal.  So if you were to just use the R4 with no external A/D you wouldn't have to worry about it.  Of course then you'd have to worry about how the preamp sounded. ;)

OK , I can't decipher those signal flow diagrams for squat, but are the xlr pairs running separately in the preamp stage on this thing?  In other words channels 1,2 thru one analog circuit, and channels 3,4 thru a seperate analog circuit.  Just imagine it, T-mod on chan. 1,2 and W-mod on chan. 3,4!!  I doubt it works like that, but it sure would be sweet!!    8)
