| I saw it a week or two ago and was poking around the internet looking for any other mentions, but I couldn't turn up any. I wonder how close it could be to actual production. -marc |

| Seems interesting. Does it have any of the features that people mod old Sta-Levels to have, like attack and release? Considering old ones are pushing the $1500+ envelope lately, getting one with a warranty doesn't sound so bad. I wonder what brand of transformers they are using? At least you can get it with the 6386. Edit: Just saw it on the Vintage King site and alas no attack or release. Looks awesome though.

| WTF- no attack/release? That seems really odd.

| Looks kind of DIY-ish... $2350 is a premium, when the vintage units are half that.. |

LA2A's don't have attack and release, and I never thought "Gee, if this had attack and release, it would be cool." I think that just is what it is. You can tell is sounds great just from the picture. | |

| I just figured since a lot of used Sta levels I have looked at buying, had the mods done to them. I know UA stays true to the old design but you know how some companies "reissues" get the add-on-feature treatment or a modernization of some sort as well.

| Just got one from VintageKing for demo. I'll report in more depth later. It sounds really good, a unique compressor compared to the classic 1147, dbx160VU, etc. It is awful pricey. On the other hand a Collins 26U-1 sold for over 2700 on Ebay last week. |
