[Brian]

anybody know of some good shows on the archive sourced with 480s>w-mod UA5?

[wrangler_n_space]

My copy of Panic 7-18 in mobile was 483s>wUA5>jb3 is floating around somewhere.

I'll start a torrent of it up on monday when i get back in town.
Let me know if you want to hear some of the 184s with the wua5 also. Although i can almost assure you that you will like the akgs better.

word. how much does a new or old pair of 480s cost these days?

damn. a bit out of my reach. i'm down for going team akg, just got to start saving. i like most every 480  sourced show  i own.  grant it there was some better gear behind them(opposed to the w-mod UA5)
guess i 'll go search the archive ro see if there is a show i i like with that source.

Thanks,
Brian

WARNING!  Purely subjective opinion follows...

Based on what I like to hear, I'd rank the wmod UA-5 higher than most "high end" gear when used with the 480's.  I don't like the sound of the Grace pre's with them, and never have liked what the AD-20 and AD2K+ do to them with any pre.  In order of preference, my top 3 combos with the 480's are as follows:

480>PSP-2
480>m148
480>wmod UA-5
480>m248

You're not losing much, IMHO, by going with the warm ua-5 as opposed to a V3 or other upper tier gear.

well i already got the w-mod UA5 so i am stuck with that. now i just have to start saving. hopefully a used pair will pop up in a few months or so....

well, mice are sure to die sooner or later. you could allways upgrade to a nice guinea pig or something....but there are a little bright on the high end.

i run 480->UA5(wmod).  sounds incredible.  silkly smooth.  i'd be willing to put it up against the minime.

I would LOVE to hear a comparison done between the w-mod and minime and also a p-mod and a v3.

anybody know of some good shows on the archive sourced with 480s>w-mod UA5?

I'm offering up Govt Mule 2003-11-11 Lawrence, KS (agk 480/ck61>w-mod UA-5(24b-48khz)>wavlab >dith/rsmp down to 16b 44.1).  Nice balance of lows,mids and highs.  You can really hear the warmth of the w-mod. PM or email if you want a download.

Still waiting to hear a 480 > V3 combo.  Anyone know were I can get a listen?
