Just finished an at home comparision of the stock 460's, JW Mod 460's, and the 480's.  Ran them all through the V3.  Also ran a comp of the JW Mod 460's & 480's > M148 > V3.  Let us know what you think.

BT is available in the Kickdown section:

Not many people grabbing this.  Figured there would be more interest.  Anyone that has downloaded this care to share their thoughts?

Thanks for doing this! This is an excellent comparison. I've only listened to it on my computer speakers, but there is an obvious difference in the high end between all three mics. I'll have to listen more, but the 480s sound brighter with more sizzle than the other two.

No problem.  Glad you are getting something out of it.  I'm looking forward to hearing feedback from the other downloaders.

Hard to say. I'm not usually able to tell much difference between the way things sound (24 vs. 16 bit, copper vs. silver, etc) but this is pretty drastic. I don't think I could even hear much difference between the 148 and the V3. I would have expected that the way the 480s sound would be the way the mod 460s sound. I guess the 480s have a punch whereas the mod460s have a more even sound. All three sounded good - just different.  :-\

FWIW, I've got three BT's up in the kickdown that were made with the JW Mod 463 > M148 > V3. 

I think the Toni Price really showcases the sound of the rig.  It sounds fantastic, IMO  8)

Hey Now!

I'm only 6 years behind on this thread  :P

But, I wanted to get some feedback on my new setup  :)

I just ordered a Bigbox from Jon at Naiant

looks like I'll be running 461/3's > bigbox > D50

I guess I'm just looking for some feedback

I was seriously thinking about getting a V3 so I could run digi in to the D50 at 24 bit

Now the D50 will have to do the ADC  :-\

Any comments and feedback appreciated  8)
