Hi Peter and all the others,

I own both (Sony D7, Korg SDD-1200, VestaFire on the digital side and a
Dynacord VRS-23 with so called "Bucket Bridge Devices" as delay chips on
the analogue side) and I have to admit I love(!) the sound of the Dynacord.
I use the VRS-23 in every mix. It makes every sound warm and rich; similar
to the unreached Roland Dimension-D.

But: The Dynacord uses very advanced circuits. There is a Kompander, a
Hi-Freq Adaption and a very sensitive tunable input circuit for the BBDs. A
simple BBD Delay, that lacks all this effort, does sound like someone here
described the corresponding AS-Module: "it sounds always like Adrian
Belew".

So the R+D Effort would be quite high. Also I fear, that it is quite
uncertain whether BBDs will stay in production for a longer period - which
is a NoGo-argument for every producer.

And finally we have to see, that with the A-112 already provides the
possibility of a digital delay.

So I subscribe Peters view:
