Thanks for all the replies.

I guess I figured the RS-120 would be more about fidelity and the A-
188 would be more about experimentation. I guess it's horses for
courses. I'll probably end up going for a A-188.

Does anybody have experience with the the A-188-2. Would I be as well
to get that rather than an A-188-1 with a set number of stages.

Also does anybody have any suggestion for a good VCA. The A-131 VCA is
good but can be a little noisy.

thanks

Ken
