Well, maybe this is apples and oranges...... But I upgraded from a Behringer mixer to a DMP3 and heard an immediate difference.
On headphones, on consumer computer speakers and on monitors. And from what I've gathered the VS pres are nothing to get excited about. So I think the guy ought to be hearing SOMETHING for that kind of investment. YEMV -Your Ears May Vary.

Yeah. I haear a big difference between my board's pres and my good pres. You should hear night and day difference between the Roland and the Davisound irreguardless of room (or anything else). But, you must listen to the differences with monitors as headphones tell you nothing.
 
You said you where plugging the new preamp into your roland?

Are you not still using the roland preamps when you do this or are they defeated in some way when you use the other preamp?

Could this not be a problem with hard disk recorders?
 
how can you say headphones won't tell you anything?
they'll show you a huge difference, as will your monitors will show you something ELSE that is different between the two pre's....
 
Outlaws, did you run the Davisound pre into the XLR inputs of your Roland? If so, you still haven't heard the TB10 by itself. What you're hearing is the TB10 pre running through the Roland pre. Still, I'd think you should hear an improvement, but you still haven't actually tracked with only the TB10.

Also, a lot of this stuff is cumlative. You're still hearing all the same A/D and D/A converters on the Roland - which aren't particularly good. Which Roland are you using?

I'm just going to go on record here as a Davisound user and say that I have a Mackie board and a Presonus Digimax and the difference between the Davisound and the others is indeed ridiculous....you cant miss it.

I have a sampler I use and could pick blindfolded which was which between the Davisound and the Mackie....yep...tried it.

Something tells me this cat is indeed going through the Roland pres afterward.

One other thing....a side note if you will.

I find it interesting that though there are only a handful of guys that I personally know of that own Hayne's stuff. I notice no one who's heard them EVER dislikes them. I guess that says something, though small.

I know he's backed up all the time and says that mass people have Davisound peices but I wonder why we dont hear of more out there, especially if he's pumping them out enough to have a crew of guys who are always a bit behind. Anyone know about how many a year the guy sells? I never asked.

Hayne Davis is kinda wierd, but I have to admit that it was his wierdness to some degree that made me buy his stuff.

I've only heard five people comment on the sound of them (well, six if you include csus7, but he's never actually heard one). The comments I've seen have been a bit mixed. Sort of along the lines of "nice, but a bit noisy".
 
The reason I said the room and cables should make no difference is because if everything is the same for both recordings, then each should show a slight difference at least.

Now as for the 1680....

I am going trough the XLR ins. I was under the impression that when the input gain is zero'd out, it was in a sort of bypass mode. Guess not. Unfortunatly I do not have a pair of A/D converters, but I will try to barrow some from GuitarCenter.



Oh ya...

My TB10 is #3.

So he doesn't make that many.

WHOAH! Yikes....anything but that!:eek:

Theyre most definitely not noisy....in fact, I honestly think you'd be hard pressed to find something much quieter in terms of self noise.

Hmmmm...the TB10 is a fairly new addition to the product line. In fact, I believe that Voxvendor has number 1. In fact, I believe he's the reason that model exists.

How do you know its number 3?

Just common sense.........the serial number is something like TB10-00003. Can't remember exactly. Its not infront of me right now. I don't think I have my mock-up of the serial number right, but it was very simular and more or less spoke for itself.

I just find this kinda' puzzling:

Again, not making any comment about their gear. Just puzzled as to why it's got such a cult following . . . yet none of the RAP guys seem to have anything to chime in. Just interesting.

Chess--

This is a pretty reliable way to check out gear. It's amazing how some items that are talked about on the forums get absolutely no users on RAP but other items will.

Scott Dorsey's posts are pretty good. There is some gold by Harvey Gerst on there as well.

Well, I really don't know what to say... It's pretty obvious those who know what they're talking about and those who do not. Those who do have explained, but those who don't, want to learn the hard-way... Nothing wrong with that... Probably better that way; it usually just takes a lot longer.

As always, I welcome ANYONE to my studio, ANYTIME, to hear my DaviSound gear, or put me on a plane with my DaviSound gear to yours... And I AM planning to send my TB-1 to Dot to let him borrow it for a week. I'd send my TB-3, but I can't do without for even a day! Maybe once my console is here...

Until then, I let my recordings, tracked completely or mostly (depends) with DaviSound preamps speak for themselves... Only gotta ask to hear some...
 
RE,

Your post have started to sound sooo much like something written by Hayne.




funny isn't it?:rolleyes:
 
Outlaws,

your posts are starting to sound like someone who just doesnt know how to use a preamp.......

RE's post sound like someone who is really partial to DaviSound preamps based on his experience with them....and based on clips Ive heard, they sound damn good, and from mp3's at that.....wanna put up the mp3's of your VS preamps against his?

sure he's a VS cheerleader.....Im a Marshall/StudioProjects/M-Audio cheerleader.......everybodys somebodys cheerleader......

but stick around...you'll learn how to use that DaviSound and youll be thanking RE for encouraing you to keep it......
 
I'm going to do sort of an about-face on this one, Outlaws.

Up to this point, I've pretty much been sympathizing with you and your plight big-time. And as RE knows all too well, I haven't exactly been giving the benefit of the doubt to Hane and his company. :D

But I don't know that I would want to be dealing with you as a customer, either. I mean, honestly . . . if you don't even know how to plug it in to your recorder the right way, you shouldn't be spending that kind of dough on it. And you absolutely have no business making comments on it's sound quality.

I still think Davisound, as a company, is a little creepy. But as a customer, you might even be creepier. :D Congratulations for that accomplishment.
 
I see your point though Outlaw.....I cant tell the difference between an SSL going into 2" at 15ips with Dolby and an Audio Buddy going into a Soundblaster......i mean, is it really worth the $$$?.........
 
If you REALLY want to know the difference, Outlaws, the difference is the man behind the console.
