The Vintech X73i (Neve 1073) Replica is compared side-by-side an original pair of Vintage Neve 1073's in a scientific mic preamp shootout at Sound Pure recording studios.  For the shootout, The Sound Pure Steinway Concert grand piano was recorded using a matched pair of Peluso P12 Tube microphones (Vintage Clones of the AKG C12 microphone) spaced across the piano's strings.  Each microphones' output was split, one to the Neve and one to the Vintech X73i.  Volume output at identical levels was tested by verifying virtually complete phase cancellation between the two signals when summed together (with one preamp set to phase reverse).  The Vintage clone Vintech X73i blew the minds of the engineers at Sound Pure studios, as the differences between the Vintech and the Neve were imperceptible.  After the listening, the Sound Pure engineers discuss their impressions of the sounds that they were hearing through the studio monitors in the Sound Pure control room.  Sound Pure is a proud seller of Vintech products, and can be reached to answer any questions about the mic pre shootout, or if you'd like the high res audio files for your own listening.  Sound Pure can be reached toll free at 888-528-9703.

The Starlight Nylon is a Thin Body Electric Acoustic Classical Guitar. Starting with a one piece body of Swamp Ash or Honduras Mahogany a sound chamber is created by hollowing out the inside of the body. The sound chamber helps produce some acoustic tone unplugged which allows the player to hear the guitar in practice situations or other settings where plugging in is undesirable and adds a more natural tone when plugged in. Perfect for large band applications or any setting where more volume is needed. This guitar is available for SoundPure's Try-Before-You-Buy Program, so if you want to hear how it sounds with your gear, shoot us an email at Acoustics@SoundPure.com, or call us anytime at 919.682.5552.

The Sonorus Instrument Cable from Vovox is not only the new industry standard for professional recording, but also the entire reason you would have a discussion about what makes one instrument cable different or better than any other.  Using the latest conductor technology, the Sonorus Cable from Vovox raises the bar for high-quality audio production. Flawless design, impeccable quality and a sharp look, are just a few of the items on the list of great things about these stellar cables. Available in varying lengths, Vovox is now offering Sonorus Patch Cables as well, so you can control the quality of your sound at every input. Rarely has there been a reason to suggest the use of a specific cable to  provide such an elevated level of quality, which the Sonorus Cable offers, and which separates it from the pack. We compared a simple chord progression on the guitar, played by SoundPure's own Guitar Expert Ross, using both a standard guitar cable and a Vovox Sonorus Cable, to exemplify the difference in quality that Vovox offers. For the Hi-Res audio files, or any questions about any of the gear used in this video, please don't hesitate to call or email us here at SoundPure. Ross@SoundPure.com, (919)-682-5552.
