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.

Used Wavelab 5.00a to invert the V3 source due to its reversed polarity.
