No, I'm not suggesting that! All I said was that I hear/feel the effect of a 1 msec delay in my studio headphones with my own voice or with an electric bass guitar. So I prefer analog circuitry as you suggested in that specific situation. My theory is that it's because in both examples I have a very direct mechanical connection to the sound source, and with headphones the sound (including other instruments) is practically speaking "inside my head".

But just as yourself, I'm perfectly comfortable playing a gig through a bass amp some 10msec or so away. Let's get back on topic...
