....have a listen to a VA with digital output, reclocked / sync,ed usign a Lynx AES16 or RME hdsp/ff or any rack SRC 1:1
+ a berillium atomic wordclock like Antelope 10M or teac esoteric g-08Br with the best silver cables or OFC or PCOCOOP + a verry high end DAC like lavry GOLD 924, redbox rb-adda, hd192, altmann micromachines, DAD ax24, lynx aurora8, rme adi-8qs, tc finalizer plus/96k, etc...
in wide mode clock to bypass the internal jitter removal circuit.
i own a drawmer m-clock that has jitter of <1ppm when its warm, and its far from an atomic clock 0.00003/5ppm,
my m-clock plugged with BNC-to-BNC adapter to my Lynx AES16+Ls-Adat, and with verry nice full OFC cables to my DAC then to digital EQ -->amp---> loudspeakers,
my kenton plugstation + yamaha plg150-an ADAT out sounds!...
thumbsup
in my experience with a docen of vintage real analog synths, tb303/arp2600/oddisey/oberheim matrix1000/juno-60 and others i cant remember...
i like more the VAs with digital out + proper clock + propper DAC + propper amplifier + propper headphones & Loudspeakers with high-end EQ + novation remote sl.
IN THE END, EVERY MACHINE HAS A UNIQUE FEATURE THAT MAKES A UNIQUE SOUND, IF THATS THE SOUND YOU LIKE, GO FOR IT NO MATTER WHAT.
try also with furman pf pro 2 or it-20 ii, or monster 5100 or 7000
i never liked the minimoog sound, anyway
the minimax midi controller was pretty, but never liked the real minimoog sound, but always loved the SEM filters! some D-50 sounds, Korg, Yamaha and Roland analog.
If want to hear some .mp3 demos of the Yamaha AN VA algorithms,
try to hear them with a verry good wordclock , etc...
and with telos mp3 decoder...
