Has anyone directly compared the Inward Connections Mix 690 and Shadow Hills Equinox summing boxes? I know the Equinox has a lot of extra features which make it great, but all I'm wondering about is the sound of two the boxes. The Equinox is appealing to me because you can switch between 3 trannies (sounds kind of funny). Love the flavor options. However, I thought the Inward has the 690 op amp on every channel. Does that make an extra difference imparting more sonic flavor to your mix?

I've heard the Vintage King summing shootout and thought the Inward was the overall winner for my taste (too bad Vintage King didn't include the Equinox). I thought the Inward Connections box was big, clear, punchy and detailed. I don't understand why it doesn't get much love on gearslutz. Is it because it's not a big name like the other contenders, or maybe b/c ya'll think it sucked!?! I dunno. But all you Inward Connection users please come out from under the rocks and speak out : )

thanks!
