I have been working on tests of claims by the Marketing Machine, forum "experts" and audio industry "educators"

I am especially tired of newcomers to our communities being told they have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on basic devices just to do basic recordings.

I was very curious about just how much "character" devices actually impart. Just how non linear are they?

I couldn't find an apples to apples comparison, so I have begun working on one. Here is the first one on Direct Boxes (so far)
