nsn you're dead right, i just wrote this post assuming my affiliation with gil is known but that's an unwise approach, thanks for getting on me about it.

for the record: i was asked by gil at wave distribution (who *does* sell these converters) to put them thru the paces and give the designer some feedback; the 'let me do a whole song' idea was mine. he paid the bill for the recording studio, he paid me for my time in the studio. i wrote this review and chose to share the tracks off the clock, without any compensation, because i think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread.

i plug products like this all the time here, things that i use or prefer to use in the trenches. a few i'm affiliated with thru gil (like focal and eli), and most i have zero affiliation with (like studer, api, nicerizer, aea, etc). that second list is infinitely longer than the first, so i hope people take that into account when assessing my motivations and contributions to gearslutz.

now if you gents will excuse me, i just nabbed a luxman turntable and gigantic 70's pioneer receiver from the salvation army for $80, and i intend to listen to some vinyl and be reminded of why i do all this crap in the first place .
