That link works for me for some reason..
I've been downsizing a bit having just recently sold an Avalon 737sp that belongs with someone who will actually have time to use it.
I don't expect the same performance of the Avalon for 1/3rd the cost but but I'm hoping for it'll perform well...
You could take a chance on this one too but it looks like it's been very poorly cared for..

I just received one bought off ebay advertised as an A-90 and confirmed via telephone that it did not have the VE-RD1 option that I would be adding later. Much to my suprise the unit powers up and it is in fact an A-90ex w/VE-RD1 but only shows 64 voices, not the 128 it's supposed to have...
I did the search and I see people trashing it left and right as poorly manufactured, using cheap components and comparing it to units that cost as little as $200 or less..
I was really hoping for some reasonable feedback from someone other than DAV #1 shill and the other barnacles on this...
I was ready to move on one of these about a year ago then decided on an Avalon instead, the results were great and now I'm think of adding another quality pre-amp.
Why buy the DAV or which other 2 channel makes may be a better value in the $300-$800 price range?
And what point could that possibly be? When I'm about to make a important purchase I want all views and opinions on it, good and bad. And especially if I'm having a problem with something not working right, again..., I would appreciated any and all info that might help me solve that problem...
Let me see... offering somone info that might be pertanant to a problem still not solved 3 pages into a thread is "useless and irresponsible"??? (That's not what the person looking for help said..)
Excuse me for mistaking this forum for a place people could exchange feedback and opinions on...
It won't be doing any traveling, it'll remain in the studio it was bought for. I know it's not the best unit but did offer alot for my price range.
What kind of potential problems should I be concerned about?
I'm not so much apposed to an extended warrentee at all but am more concerned...
It's for the studio I'm using and I expect a huge improvement in piano and an orchrastra soundbank that is actually usable..
Music123 want to sell me an extended warrentee for about $150.. It's 2 year extended with complete coverage but the in-house type that I'm always wary of..
Anyone...
Sure would be ironic if if it does turn out to be something minor inside the box like the guy with the dead channel fixed himself.
You guys are overreacting here. If I was running DAV Electronics I'd want this type of feedback, I'd want to know when things are right and especially if...
I'm no expert on this stuff but reading alot about various preamps the True Systems P-SOLO seems to have alot of admirers. It's a proven system condensed into an affordable single channel unit.

And I don't recall any complaints of the type you...
I'm not posting anything absurd at all.. I've read extensively on the BG1 besides many other preamps and came close to buying it but put it off because 1, it probably wouldn't arrive before my next studio session and 2, I did have a few concerns about a few issues some users reported.
Now...
Here it is..

Whelp. Imagine my dismay when I hooked up a second mic for some stereo recording and channel 2 has no output. There is definate signs of juice going to the mic cause the green and red level light come on briefly when the mic is plugged into the XLR input.
Pure silence from...
