yesterday i help the father of my girlfriend to move his audiophile stereo (3 meters high speakers, 50000 $ valve preamps and amps etc...) and he gave me a pure analogic stereo dynamic expander.
i just tried it, and it's da shiznit ! just plug my lappy and the output of the little box in a stereo, and it's TOTALLY amazing !
do you know about that annoying thing when you render your track and it always sounds weak compared to a real, pro mastered track ? it's over for me now !
i just have to play my track through this magic box and re-record it, and it sounds great !
the guy making those boxes is a french electronician well known in the audiophile world: Hubert Dalix. His brand is DXE.
Don't know the price of the expander though... and i'm not sure i wanna know  | |

PS, with a maker named Dalix, I bet its really just a ring modulator. Try running a mic into at and saying "EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE THE DOCTOR"

well, i will post mp3s really soon. this box really expands dynamics, i tried on a simple breakbeat and it's obvious.
> pierlu: yeah i've always been thinking this thing, and i don't own a lot of gear. i tend to prefer the "homemade sounding" music than the big and ultrafat productions.

well, looking forward hearing those mp3s... would be even better if you'd up them as a blind test, not telling us which went trough the magic box and which didnt ...
