I guessed right

I'm guessing source A= V3 B= w-mod. With the bluegrass I prefer source B, but would like to hear a hard rock comp. or a akg 481 comp... Source B sounds like source A with some eq taking a slight edge off.. IMO.

This reminds me of one time when I had a "beer tasting" party for all the people I knew who were beer snobs. It was shameful how many "I don't drink cheap beer" types discovered they were buying a label...

Well, I think it's probably easy enough for people to figure out now based on some of the posts here. Those that have contacted me obviously know. More people guessed incorrectly, than correctly, by a significant margin. And just about everyone preferred the wmod-UA5 source. How about that wmod-UA5!!

I'll do another one of these in a larger venue, with a louder, bass-heavier rock band to see if the results hold. Should be fun!

The answer:

A = V3
B = wmod-UA5

T+ Brian. Maybe I can get Bush's V3 & do some 480 Comp's at the X-mas Jam.

I'm going to ask Santa for a Warm mod. UA-5
but I will probably only get coal

***SHAMELESS PHLUPHING***

For now, w-mod UA5 owns V3's face!

Chalk one up for Team W-mod UA5!

Brian · « **Reply #56 on:** November 23, 2003, 08:24:53 PM »

hehehe...so does this make the resale value of the w-mod UA5 higher than the original retail price???

I'll sell mine for $800 OBO

Brian

PS: for the crazies who would pay that....i'm not actually selling mine

Brian Skalinder · « **Reply #57 on:** November 24, 2003, 01:18:12 AM »

Alright, so not very scientific, all this, but thought you all might be interested in some numbers. The in/correct guesses were closer than I thought. FWIW...

11 - total respondents

05 - guessed incorrectly
04 - guessed correctly
02 - couldn't tell the difference

06 - preferred wmod-UA5
05 - did not express a preference

Sean Gallemore · « **Reply #58 on:** November 24, 2003, 01:33:13 AM »

thanx for keeping a score card skalinder, very interesting

:fullmoon:

w-mod ua5 whips the ass of the V3, woulda thunk it?

Okay so it wasn't that bad. The V3 captured what was there in the room and in this instance what was in the room didn't sound all that great.

I don't think this test should be viewed as a knock on the V3 as much as a proving how good the mod ua5's really can sound. I'd never heard a ua5 before this, I was pleasantly suprised.

I think the next step then is p-mod v. v3 and minime v. w.mod..
