I asked someone at a booth today were there was a vintech audio X73i.
Now what he could tell me was, and I think that it is a fair explenation, that Neve is the only company that uses the original transformers.
Someone on the booth from digital audio service last musicmesse told me that BEA has got a certain agreement about getting a spin off from Carnhill.
The other companies such as Vintech made a clone that comes close to the original.
That can result in a perfect sound that is near Neve and will be a little bit more payable.
