Thanks for the reply Sean...
Not taken as snide, Sean..
Is NS really a programmer? I didn't get that impression from what I've read here.

It sounds wide to me, but I am using headphones. I would think that there might be a difference between the mono summing of the PCM70, and the true stereo of the PCM96 (and the 224).

1: you cannot image using headphones.
2: Mono source in both cases, and this shouldn't affect the tail. I am convinced that there is something wrong with the PCM96 routing.

I just hear discrete echos and metallic allpass ringing in both of the reverbs with the modulation off. It seems like this particular algorithm REQUIRES modulation to sound halfway decent. The PCM70 sounds like it has a bit more high frequency attenuation, but I hear some very pronounced sine waves ringing out in the tail. If I listened closer, I could probably hear more subtle differences, but since both of the algorithms sound bad without chorusing, this is where I will stop.
If the Concert Hall algorithm is as dependent on modulation as your examples would indicate, then the particular type of chorusing is probably critical to the sound.

I'll post more examples of different algos. I cannot afford to 'stop' as you say since I'm trying to incorporate this box into my current mix setup, or bail on it entirely. As it stands I may have to stockpile vintage Lex parts unless I can get to the bottom of this 96 voicing problem.
