Okay, I was thinking it would be great to start an audio demo section of all the gear available to build on here...
Just as a way to hear all the different Rev 1176's (without actually having to build them) or hearing the difference between a w492 and a studer 169, or how does a 2254c compare to a GSSL, valve Pultec vs. SS Pultec, etc, etc....
So then I started thinking there would have to be some kind of standard practice when making these files to make any comparisons worthwhile. Maybe we should come up with a standard level for these too...
So anyway, I came up with using the "dry" files from the Vintage King website after seeing people do something similar over on GS.

What do you guys reckon? It would be great to have a larger number of these dry files too, so if anyone has any suggestions or appropriate files - speak up. Kick, bass, room mics, electric guitar, strings, brass, female vox, etc, etc.
Even demo's of DIY against the real thing would be great. For example, I have a 160VU (in London) if anyone wants to compare it with Abe's prototype. Anyway, I've built the GSSL (Turbo) , 1176 Rev D (with UTC iron) and Trident 80 eq so that could be a start once the files are agreed upon.
Cheers
