Yes, this is a good one. NB I have had the Tobin matrix for some time, and a friend just lent me the DaP. I have compared them side by side, and I prefer Tobin. Yes, Tobin is slightly head-in-a-tin-bucket, a little bit of hiss, and poorer bass response, like any 70's tape, but it is warmer, has better balance, and I can hear the cymbals and brush work better. The DaP suffers from the same problems that DP's did: Bob's guitar is way off left somewhere and too quiet; disembodied guitarists (guitar from one speaker and vocals from the other); and in this DaP (the reverse of DP's) the vocals are actually too loud compared to the guitars.
