Stam Audio

Fairchild clone for under $3000. Let the witch hunt begin!

I’ve managed to stay away from STAM buuuuut this... I’m in.

Definitely interested in this one

Deposit paid

If I don’t like it I’ll pitch it locally or return it.

Wiggy

Hell yes! Deposit transferred!

oh no !!!!

The mental gymnastics required to justify this purchase
to myself was astounding.

Wow, this describes me perfectly as well; oh the shame deposit paid!

I’m getting the stam child advent calendar made.. who in for one?

I dont even have my sigma or another 8 channel card da on my HD I/O to justify getting this right now, but..........................deposit paid

On a different note, Im guessing this is why the drip 670 boards arent available anymore huh?

pre ordered mine... and got two of the pultecs with NOS upgrade pre ordered too

oh no.

how much is the deposit?????????

$500 usd

Won't be buying any gear until next year when I build the $10k analogue rack of doom . Right now it's looking like it will be all Stam Audio. The only thing that's missing is a Stam tube mic pre (hint hint). With DI please.

Or a stam summing mixer :D

FWIW they built a 2 channel summing mixer into the new 1073MPA. It has an output for both channels combined.

Or if they could somehow build a REDD 47 pre or GT ViPre

we need 16! also, i love how they just dropped the most epic new product and within 15 posts I'm already asking for more haha :D

That's the most affordable hardware clone of the Fairchild that I've come across.

As an Anamod AM660 owner, I wonder how the Stam will compare. The AM660 fooled a frightening number of people in A/B tests. Though not applying to the topology of the Fairchild, instead opting for analog modeling, it is far less expensive. If the Stam gets us even close to a Fairchild I may consider selling the Anamod, though, to be honest, I don't hear much difference between it and a Fairchild either.

I'm a UTA UnFairchild owner and I'm tempted.

I wonder how close itll get. If its 80% is it worth it? If its 90% is it worth it?

The real kicker here is that it looks the part as well. That alone is going to sell a lot of these.

Tempting.

Truth is i don't need another compressor but this would look glorious in my rack!
I don't mind the long winded wait either as it allows me to get my pennies together!

Ultimate Studio Cleavage!!!!

OK tempting it is.
Reading through the announcement page I wonder about this line: "With the aid of premium transformer reproductions made by Brian Sowter in the UK and the use of four JJ 6386 and two 12AX7 tubes we have managed to make this unit virtually indistinguishable to the original. "

Was the StamChild tested against one of the handful of original units currently available to mankind, where, when, and how.

Actually it’s not racist it’s classist. In spite of that his concern is not unfair. From what I have seen so far it looks like people have had decent enough experiences with Stam, though it is reasonable to have a healthy dose of skepticism with products from countries where literally no other products in this space come from and a company that demand deposits of products that you may not receive for up to a year. Stam has been establishing its reputation for a few years now, and others have been the guinea pigs, and now I feel comfortable enough to get in on a preorder.

They say October delivery so if it comes in December it’s my Xmas gift to myself!

I’m not in a super rush but I know I definitely need one in my life.

The best way of validating the claims made is to hear some like for like comparisons of the original unit vs the Stam.
To be able to make such claims they must have access to an original

Joshua, how about a blind shootout?
