The Burl's coloration on the mid/upper mids (it's more saturated but softer transients in this area) made me pass on it - while the Lavry Gold's price (and some reported reliability issues) made me pass on it as well.

I'm an AD 122 user myself and nothing else I've tried, touches em, sonically!
The AD 122 seems to retain more of the natural dynamics of the mix and more of any movements I've made in the analogue domain.
I use a slightly different version to the standard one.
They are expensive and a little temperamental.
I'm probably gonna have to get another spare one!
