***this is not a scientific comparison and wasn't ever intended to be***
I ran two M/S rigs for Mickey Hart Band for comparison's sake. Not exactly scientific but close enough for me. The biggest variable would seem to be the different flavors of mods on the Busman R4 pres.
ADK TL + Peluso cemc6 card > vintage mod pres
AT 4050 + Peluso cemc6 card > transparent mod pres
Both LD mics were cabled with AM Xstreams
Both SD mics were cabled with milspec silverclad
Both files were recorded to stereo > imported to Audacity (split, copy/invert side, mix mid+6dB, side +9dB)...blah blah blah
So what do you think?
