nope
:shock:
and yet he is just up the road from me
but you get that

never heard one. i do have some buzz audio stuff which is fromt he saem hemisphere. would they compare?

Never heard a Buzz unit myself, but I don't think they're in the same 'genre', if you will. I could be wrong.

Kev, that's horrible. You should write a review of the new Maximus. Have you talked to Sebastian?

i think there should be more hype. i have a sebatron 2000e which i use more than my API. but If you say that around here you could be shot.
they are underrated underpriced hi-end preamps.

I don't think so
unless it was at a trade show or venue ... or ??

have done the PM thing here and a few comments in a thread or two
but nothing of real interest

I mean you should talk to him about a review or something. It's a crying shame that he's so close and yet you haven't had 'the pleasure'.

OK, I have a Buzz SSA1.1 and a Seb 4000e, so I' think I'm actually qualified to speak here :wink:

They are chalk and cheeze. I actually think it would be difficult to get two units that are further apart..... and that is a GOOD thing. It's the reason I have them.
The Buzz is about as clean an transparent as you can get. "Wire with gain" as the say. Very clear, very fast, very true to life. I put my TLM-103 on the Buzz and it's scarey how accurate it is.
The Seb is the opposite. It goes from cleanish (but nothing like the Buzz) to downright dirty depending on how hard you drive the input.

So I really think I have most bases covered.

The Seb is a fantastic unit. Very professional sound and very versatile. I doubt you would be disappointed.
