Ah, a sontec owner!(envy )
I have two, actually, and love them more than any other piece.

Basically was interested in some specs etc, thought they'd be a pdf or something available on a site, but alas no...
See below for a pic of the original 'drop sheet'...

I got to admit Brad, from the only photo i've seen they sure look like a piece of fine art!
Yah, they do look kewl (imo).

Dont even mention the price...
Hey, I bought my last one used for $7k and it's basically mint. But unless you have some spare opamps (good luck finding them), I can't recommend buying one.
But man they sound good!

This is a crappy picture a buddy took shortly after I got the new Sontec, if it helps:

Yeah - a tech here in NYC I use told me that he has a shelf full of them - all currently non-functioning - and all in need of opamps.
edit: Just talked to the tech and apparently these are compressors and not eq's that he has - and apparently they need a heckuva lot more fixed on them than just op amps. He actually described the eq's as "easy to fix."
Best regards,

I replaced all my amp cards with the Steve Firlotte one's. They don't sound exactly the same but my Sontec still sounds like hot butter EQ. I still have a slight oscillation at 60hz at -80db in the 2nd Channel but it's of no consequence since I use it in M/S.
I'm in love with my Sontec. I feel very privileged to have one.
