It seems the price has gone up for the Brick2 in 2023? And how does it compare the 504 series mic pre with limiter and transformer?

It’s great to know that the BRICK2 is 100% made in England. Supporting local manufacturing is always a plus. And it’s cool that you handle the final assembly and packing personally. The Harmonic Enhancer sounds like a lot of fun to play around with during mixdowns. Having both an “add” and “subtract” feature is great, and I agree that it’s something that can’t be replicated with a plugin.

Thanks for sharing your insights on USB interfaces. It’s always interesting to hear about your experiences and your critical tests. It’s true that there is a wide variety of options out there, and sometimes it can be difficult to navigate through all the marketing claims and find a truly reliable and high-performing device.

I’ve been using RME interfaces for maybe ten years now, they are bullet proof and sound great. The other good brands are UAD, Apogee, and then Focusrite make affordable options.

It’s great to hear that the SubZero SZ-A12 has been working well for you and meeting your needs. It’s always reassuring when you find a piece of gear that performs reliably and consistently. The fact that it has good power supply noise suppression and excellent audio performance is definitely a plus.

I can understand your disappointment with some of the newer interfaces claiming higher sample rates. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t meet your expectations in terms of harmonic distortion and crosstalk. It’s important to remember that higher sample rates alone don’t guarantee better audio quality. The design and implementation of the interface play a crucial role in achieving optimal performance.

It’s also worth considering that different interfaces may have different target markets and price points, which can affect their overall performance and quality. Sometimes, inexpensive options like the SubZero SZ-A12 can surprise us with their capabilities.

At the end of the day, finding the right gear is about balancing your needs, budget, and performance expectations. It’s great that you’ve found a reliable interface that meets your needs, and I’m sure it will continue to serve you well.

Hey Ted! That’s some fascinating history about PYE. I love learning about the origins of companies and how their products have evolved over time.

It’s really cool that your company, Alice Ltd., has acquired the rights to the PYE logo and trademark. Reviving a brand with such a rich history and using it on your new stereo compressor/limiter, the PYE 4061S, sounds like a great idea. It’s a nice nod to the original BBC 4060 compressor, which clearly made a significant impact in the industry.

I’m curious to know more about the PYE 4061S. What sets it apart from other compressors/limiters on the market? Are there any unique features or design elements that make it stand out?

Looking forward to hearing more about your company and any other exciting projects you have in the works!
