Post by: Sterling on November 12, 2003, 02:52:41 PM

Anyone run a stock UA5? I have seen them on ebay for cheap and would venture to do the digi mod myself but then forfit the w-mod. Any experience with the stock UA5? Any samples? Thanks. I was getting  aDMIC but the seller dropped off the face opf the earth.  ???

I think it sounds pretty damn good considering the price point, but YMMV.

I use the stock one, did the digi-mod myself.....

I think it makes great tapes!, at least fo rmy ears

If you want to check something out, have a listen to the Mule and NEM from Tampa:

I also have plenty more if you want to have a listen to other types of music.

In all honesty though, I just taped at the Magnoliafest with my buddies w-modded UA-5, and I really liked the results with it.  I had no problem switching back to mine for Panic and Mule though......

My advice is, if you have the money, go for the Oade unit, if not, don't  ;)
