I own a sonic maximizer and am happy with it. If you already have excellent source material (i.e., a great mix, great speakers, etc) then you really don't have a need for the Sonic Maximizer. However, if one has a compromised source such as an old cassette recording or a "murky" mix, the Sonic Maximizer does a pretty good job of getting some clarity and "punch" from the recording (it performes some phase-alignment). Also, I have a pair of Technics speakers from the 70s (two-way, 8" ported enclosure) and when I run material through the Maximizer it really tightens up the sound (that is, the Technics speakers approach the clarity of my SR824s). I have some old recordings I did on Casio keyboards that tend to be kind of "mid-range dominate" and murky and the BBS unit does wonders with this. Also, when I listen to streaming audio from the internet I run it through the BBS and it really makes the low-quality audio sound pretty amazing. The bottom line: The BBS is excellent to compensate for mediocre source material or speakers. However, if your recording setup is state-of-the-art then the BBS may have little effect and limited use. -- Kevin Quoting Jeff Duke <jeff_d@embarqmail.com>: > Thanks for that link, I found some great reviews, I have abandoned the > Sonic Maximizer and have ordered the Opto Stomp.. > http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/optostomp.shtml ..
