Hey HCL,

I have the unit for a couple of days and had a lot of on-time in that period. I'm starting to realize more and more what it does with the mix and I can say it is getting more of the thick tone what I expected from the unit.

A explanation what I think is the way I need to approach these kind of units and maybe it needs time to break-in because of the tubes? I don't know how to describe it but when enabled the unit's added tones getting more and more by the day, man! You have any explanation Albert?

I've almost ordered a new Audio Interface (Saffire 56) and ditching the M-Audio 1010 after, yes yes, SEVEN years! There will be an improvement for sure conversion-wise. Better ADDA converters, more VariS goodness.

I have decided to wait some time for another demo, need more time getting acquainted with the Vari-Mu. And about the settings. It was feedback-mode with the punchiest settings possible at that time with about 2~3db compression. Yet again I need more time with the unit for another demonstration, and to have any decent objective opinion.
