INTENT
=========================
To allow tapers to hear the different sonic characteristics of the V3 and R4. The goal was to try to minimize the influence of the R-4 preamp and focus primarily on the ADC comparison. However, in order to achieve reasonably even levels across both ADCs, I had to apply a very small amount of gain to the R-4. Of course, one shouldn't decide gear X or Y sounds better based on a single comparison, but hopefully the samples provide some useful listening on the sonic differences the V3 and R4 ADCs.
RECORDING INFO
=========================
Greyboy Allstars

Chicago, IL - House of Blues
Location : Center, ~40' back (at SBD), ~8' stand
Mic Config : NOS (30cm, 90ยบ)
Source A : Schoeps MK21/KC5/CMC6 > Lunatec V3 (24/48) > MicroTrack 2496
Source B : Schoeps MK21/KC5/CMC6 > Lunatec V3 analog-out > Edirol R-4 (24/48)
Used Wavelab 5.00a to invert the V3 source due to its reversed polarity.

Thanks for the comp, Brian. I look forward to hearing this. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of the stock R4 comps. +T
