Just a guess, but the Lavrys might be a bit less 'wild' than the Myteks, similar to your Millennia/DACS comparison. I'm just speculating though, based on what I've heard from Lavry fans. |
No no, I am just thinking about it. Now I am selling one stereo Mytek to a friend and thus a need for another 2ch AD DA will arise (especially when I make all the changes only to be able to record 4ch in 96 kHz) . After a dust of my studio revolution settles down a bit I will think about it quickly. I could go for Myteks again (the trusted quality). But for a slight change I am very much tempted to go for Lavry (heard lot of good about them). Pity that people do not use them more often that we can hear direct comparison impressions.
Again said - if I live in the US where all this gear is easily available even to borrow, I would make Mytek- Lavry comparison today itself instead of writing many speculations in similar discussions.
In our area no one even heard of Lavry.
I asked Nathan Eldred - he knows well both Mytek and Lavry Blue. He thinks (although he loves Mytek) that Lavry sounds simply plain better
If it is as you say (DACS/ Millennia) - it would be actually great, since I love kind of sweet, decent way for the things to sound (that´s why I rather changed my DACS for Millennia). Although Mytek sounds fantastic, I really sometimes feel its tiny bit "wild" high frequencies (similar as with the mentioned DACS/Millennia comparison).
So maybe LAvry could be great for me. ANd I will still keep Mytek.
I just looked at the Lavry user manual. It seems one has to be M.Sc in electronics to set it working ?
Or shall we rather go for the Gold series ? There is actually a nice discount offered if you go for 2ch AD DA: $13500 only.
