Title link takes you to a review by Mike Peake sent to AH back in 2002 on Moog vs. Synthesizers.com. It's an oldie but worth reading if you haven't seen it before. It recently popped up on AH and I figured I'd put up a post. For those of you that read the comments here, you might recognize synthbaron gets a mention. : ) BTW Mike Peak was the man behind the Andromeda A6. He helped make it happen. I remember before it came out he was gathering feedback on AH and Sonic State's the-gas-station. I kind of miss those days. Waldorf was still in business, the-gas-station was still pumping (pun intended) and someone was actually going to come out with an analog poly monster synth. Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent. This post is about Moog vs. Synthesizers.com. Go read about it and then check out some of these videos.
The following is a small excerpt:
"The Moog 904a lowpass filter and the Arrick ladder (in the "traditional" response configuration in which resonance is proportional to Fc) sounded quite alike! Very much so. The tests weren't detailed enough to be conclusive (owning and using both would be the next step) but dang, they were close. The Arrick tracked a hell of a lot better than my Moog filter (but then again, it's not calibrated at the moment) without sounding rigid. The only issue I had with the Arrick ladder was some self-noise. But for the price, if you want something that close, you can't beat the Synthesizers.com ladder filter. You could probably buy three or four Arrick ladders for the price of a vintage Moog 904a!"
