Hi Pier,could you please send me the docs for the DIP version of your babys ?
anyway..just ordered two more vp28´s from jeff to fill them with the normal 992´s ;D 8)
i did a extensive shootout recording the same synth and drummachine-loops and then looped always 2 combinations of opamps in the DAW . I had two vp28 each stuffed with the same opamp type to accumulate sound impact, AD was prism orpheus.
I testet gar2520´s, the diy melcors, your app2520 and their fet-broo´s, red dots , the now out of production germ opamps and for sure , the 992´s
I have to admit that the differences were sometimes to small to hear even hearing it in a continous loop.
(while just switching around before i could swear i had heared much more differences...)
but for me i clearly had two winners for this task :
the gar2520 gives the most ´compact´sound , some nice familiar glue with a trade off in detail which should be perfect for the drumbuss, i think that is the sound jeff had in his ear on his journey
with capi

and on the other side the vp´s loaded with your 992´s...
very huge sound , the transformers start to shine out in the best way, lots of clear bass, 3D mids and pristine highs, nice transient detail. my fav. for synth recording !
so i had to order two more vp´s because i need two stereo channels, one based on gar2520, one on 992 .
just wanted to chime in with this !
