New Sontec / ITI

Has anyone taken delivery of one of the new Sontec or ITI equalizers yet? If so, any comments? What was the wait time?

Double that... anyone had a chance to spend any time with the new Sontec/ITI gear?

I'm guessing that's a "no" so far.

I was lucky enough to have Burgess go through my 250C and put a new op amp in it, etc. That was in the fall, and he turned it around surprisingly quick. Since then, I bought another Sontec (an even older model), and waited 6 months for an op amp (never got it). I talked to Burgess, and it seems they had some problems with the production of the op amps. But I believe that was rectified.........

He hasn't changed a thing with the guts, so they will sound the biz.

Oh, and fwiw, I'll be selling my 250C as soon as my other Sontec is cleaned up. (2 weeks tops).

Here's my annual "Welcome Back Sontec" post. Anyone got any news at all about them?

Quite a few people have gotten new 250EXs. Just not people that watch this thread. Look in the mastering forum maybe. People seem to think they sound the same, and there are probably EXs Burgess has ready for delivery.

Will check it out. I hadn't heard anyone talking about them yet and no one I've asked about it has heard anything, either.

I've been in touch with Burgess often in the last year, getting parts for my old old MEP-230. So at least we know he's around. Great guy. What an amazing-sounding EQ. He said he wasn't doing AES in nyc but as far as I know he's going full speed. Why not give him a call?

I have two sontecs and yes your right about the opamps and parts however any good tech can fix almost anything that is wrong with your sontec. Also steve of inward connections makes a daughter board so you can use his opamps in you sontec. I love his opamps one sontec has sontec opamps and the other has the inward connection opamps. thumbsup
