Now, from this point we can handle this one of two ways:

Dallas, your hardly in the drivers seat here. Forget the test, it'll never happen. Send the man a couple of units to try out for a month and see what comes of it. Your concerns will be remedied once and for all. Maybe you can score a Googly Moogly t-shirt out of it as well.
Sorry for butting in.

If Aardvark is proposing the test, I can garantee you he is very serious about it.

why not try this ?

Hello Aardvark, Thank you for the invitation, but we (I) attempted to set this test up so that we could evaluate two vitange Neves, two AMS Neves and one X73i in one channel vs one channel at a time tests. Fletcher believes (and could be correct) that he could only hear a major difference if we do these tests eight tracks at a time. Dallas Upton Vintech

The tests he and you propose are obtuse and not very scientific. I offer a chance for both of you to listen to 4 pre's and decide which ones you like. Simple. If Fletcher or you can pick 'em swell...but I suggest you just listen for yourself and he for himself. If one cannot hear a discern-able difference on a one to one basis who cares about the cumulative" effect?? As somebody who has many thousand of hours recording and mixing with 1073's I can assure you that TOO MUCH Neve can muddy up a mix anyway as can too much of certain other devices. Let us cut to the chase. A verifiable and accurate scientific test that favours neither of you. You hear it you like it and you have no idea what each is.

Please take a moment to reconsider my offer. I can pm you if you want to talk on the phone...same with Fletcher.

Cheers,
Aardvark

Hello Aardvark,

I wouldn't have a problem doing the tests you spoke about, but it really needs to be strictly about picking the X73 out of the lineup of Neve / AMS Neve modules. I pm'd you my contact info so that we can discuss it.

Thanks,
Dallas Upton

English translation:  It's all about promoting Vintech...
