When I worked as Chick Corea's studio manager we did a crazy little experiment. We decided to see how good the Yamaha 02R96 mic pres are compared to pristine vintage Neve 1073 modules. We used a 9 foot Yamaha grand with Yamaha's mechanical recording/playback system (can't remember the name of it) into 2 AKG C12s. We were able to get the exact same performance on each take with the playback system. In the end, we could hear that the Neve was ever so slightly warmer than the 01v96, but we were shocked at how unremarkable the difference was - really shocked. Bernie Kirsh, a true golden ears, and a world famous engineer who has done virtually all of chick's records could not hear much difference either, and I gotta tell you he is a real snob when it comes to equipment. In a similar vein, when I listened to the first Lynn Fuston mic pre CD of female vox, I blindly picked the Mackie mic pre as my 3rd favorite. However I must say that that comparo is not as accurate as the one with the piano because despite how good she was, she could not do the exact same performance every time, while the piano could.

Now it's like a Paris system > >(just trying to stay on topic so Kim doesn't send a guy over here to break >my knees) > I think the problem lies in Honda's marketing department. Toyota advertises the crap out of their system and Priusesses (Priuii??) while Honda essentially put cars on the market and just left it up to the consumer to find them. My wife drives a Honda Insight. Wonderful car. Gets 52mpg average. Different technology than the Toyotas - Toyota is an electric car with gas assist - kicks butt around town. The Honda is a gas car with electric assist - kicks butt on the highway. But Sheri really had to dig to find anything about the Insight when she went shopping three years ago. Same with the current Honda hybrids. Instead of whacking a model and blaming engineering, for once, please, club the marketing weenies over the heads with baseball bats and buy them a clue!!!!!! pabThis is where I jump in as a piano Tech and tell you that of course the differences were minute, since you were using a Yamaha piano to "measure" your Yamaha Pres. If the O2R96 had been presented with the more complex tone of a Steinway, or a Bosendorfer, or a Fazioli, the difference between Pres would have been more apparent. Actually, I'm joking. I think. Thanks for the "confession". In fact through the past few years of belonging to this group, I've come to know those whose sonic priorities align with mine. You are one of them. I always appreciate your posts. I tuned for Chick Corea once while he was in Toronto...

The studio has avalons, neves, UADs, but long story short, when we compared those other pres with the DM-2000, we choose the DM-2000 for the every day go to Pre.. They even put those pres on their portable studios AW2400/AW1600. I got a few projects form those units and they sound as good anything out there..

That's what. First, they sold us a vinyl copy of the album, which we happily paid for. Then, they re-issued it as a half-speed master, either MFSL, Nautilus, or CBS's own flavor. And then they expected us to pony up MORE $$$ for another copy of what we already owned. And some people, for whatever reason, bought either 8-track or cassette copies of the album, buying ONCE AGAIN a copy of what they already owned, for the same price as they originally paid. Then along came cd's. And we had to pay $18 a pop for yet ANOTHER copy of the album that we'd already paid for two-and-a-half times over. Fine. I don't like it, but I don't have a choice. The original vinyl sounded like ass and was pressed on thin, flimsy recycled vinyl with pieces of paper in it. Now, they are remastering and reissuing all those same cd's as before, maybe throwing a b-side or two in, and now expecting us to run out and pay ANOTHER $15 for ANOTHER copy of the album that we've ALREADY BOUGHT THREE TIMES. "I'm sorry the original cd sucked so hard. We've remastered it the way we should have done 10 years ago - our mistake. Please pay us again." At some point, do they give us "updgrade pricing"??? "Mail your old cd in plus $6 and we'll send you a copy of the new one"?????? Hell no. It's just an extortion scheme that they get away with because they are the only ones you can buy that title from, they have you by the short hairs, and you are pretty well screwed. It pisses me off. A lot. Sorry. Had to rant. pabYep, the DM2K pre's are all that... I was quite stunned the first time I dialed them up... I knew they were supposed to be good, just wasn't expecting Great! 24 of them in the desk is just a bonus. David. LaMont wrote: > Bill, I sometimes work at a studio which uses the Yammy Dm-2000.
