Hi John, Maybe Fletcher can Chime in.. I beleive Mercenary Audio owned a Classic before they went to a Nyquist model.. I own a Nyquist model but cant comment on the classic converters.

You can also check at izcorp.com and email Dale or Nj over there.. They can probibly give you a more accurate description.

Best of luck.

I had the S-Nyquist [192] converters before switching to the Nyquist [96] converters. At 44.1 I found the Nyquist converters to sound "sweeter" and more musical than the S-Nyquist and the Classic... more so [in terms of sweetness] with the S-Nyquist than the Classic... but sweeter than both others none the less.

I use the iZ Nyquist the most, but also have to use the Otari RADAR variant from time to time. I suspect Otari's version was similar (if not identical) to the Classic.

I've never put them side by side to compare, but I've been happy with both, unhappy with neither.

My current druthers?

iZ Nyquist at 24/48.

I prefer tracking to RADAR too and then transferring to PT. I guess that means I'm old school.
