But the cinemag excels on voice, bass, all of it....
im not trying to dispute with you, but just trying to understand....


you seem to be describing transformer characters based on brand, and while every brand has their own shelf model transformers....

i thought there characters were based on the metals and windings, so if the "hi fi-ish" jensen wound a transformer with iron, wouldn't it essentially sound like a sowter, or a carnhill.....
because i know avedis used a jensen on the ma5 and that pre pretty much nails the neve character........
