RE: [oberheim] Re: Help me with a Matrix 1000 vs. 6R decision...

We're into rarified air here, so I'm sure there will be plenty of differing
opinion, BUT

 

I don't think whatever sonic difference that may allege to exist could be
illustrated by a simple mp3.

 

I've owned both and can hear no diff (aside that which could be explained to
manufacturing tolerance).  Listening closely ENOUGH and you'll hear
differences between every unit of any kind.  

 

Hey, it's *analog* -- it's supposed to be a little bit organic :-)

I have had the Matrix-6 and really cannot confirm such a dramatic
difference. I *can* tell you that the build quality of the Matrix-6 was less
than impressive. Don't know if the 6r was manufactured overseas.

 

Seriously, can some one post a mp3 that illustrates these differences? I'd
like to hear what the big deal is all about because apparently I missed it
before my Matrix-6 started to fail. -pc

more analog sound than that of the matrix 1000, they are supposed to be the

behaves compared to that of the 1000 makes them worlds appart imo
