hello joerg,

this is pretty much a matter of taste.
both have their benefits. the a122 sounds cleaner
and tracks better, when you use it at self-oscillation.
it also has voltage-controlled resonance, a cool feature.
on the other hand the a120 has a more characterful
sound, especially when the a120 has a modified input stage
(a changed resistor, which makes the input more sensitive).
i guess you don't have to do this modification by yourself,
you can order an a120 with this modification from
doepfer, but i'm not sure.

if i had to decide between a122 and a120, i'd go for a
modified version of the a120, but as i said, it's all
a matter of taste and your desired application.

best wishes

ingo
