I am no longer afraid.
There are so many different sounds and colorations out there that it is impossible to stop unless you are prepared to accept a reference. I chose what many of the experts in making studio recordings choose. It is more than good enough for me if it is good enough for artists like Sting, Mark Knopfler, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, Hans Zimmer, Lenny Kravitz, Enya, Rolling Stones, Lou Reed, Tina Turner, Kate Bush, Sade, Neneh Chery, 10cc, Tears for Fears, Mike Oldfield, Robert Plant, Barbara Streisand, AC/DC, Dire Straits, Simple Minds, Suzanne Vega, Level 42, John Williams, Roger Taylor....I could go on and on and start listing most of the world's most prestigious studios but why bother...I figure it enough that these professional musicians (who know a lot more about what sounds accurate musically then I do) choose certain gear; I'll simply follow their lead and buy the very same gear and get off the Merry-Go-Round.
