Well it all depends on whether one plugs a $5000 gold wired power cable into the equipment or not because clearly the last 5 feet of cable makes a phenomenal difference. The lows are sublime, the mids become haunting and the highs instantly clarify without becoming glassy,,,, ;)
Personally I can’t wait until they start doing M/S post processing and re-summing through an SSL just to have more expensive hardware to penis measure over.Vintage King has a used 80 channel SSL 9KJ for sale right now that would be the perfect audiophile accessory for a small listening room ;)
Do it with a Manley for much cheaper. Do it with a freeware Modern VST for free though. Mojo is in the fingers. Not the equipment. And not your ears. Gold? It hardly even belongs in Neumann gear.
