I don't tend to keep things very long if I'm not impressed and I've had mine for quite some time now. Couldn't think of anything that's better for the £250 (?) I paid Geoff for it.

The Vivant is in a very nice new enclosure now. It looks excellent and the box itself weighs a fair bit. Also, the writing on the front has the same style as Alan's other kit, rather than the crackers type on the first version lol

Alan has squeezed out some more performance and while it's not a big jump in term of performance it is noticeable. It's next on my list of purchases and I know there isn't anything to beat it under £3000. Bold claim I know but it's my belief. It was up against £5k phonostages a week ago and performed incredibly well. Only being outdone by a DIY stage, that had EVERY component matched within a ridiculously low tolerance. The guy says that it's impossible for it to ever be a commercial product due to the huge wastage of unused parts and costs of making it. The Vivant was so close to matching it's performance. That's when Alan went home and added the things he had learned from the bake off and improved the Vivant.

£3000!!! That's gone up a bit!

The Vivant is still £1000ish. It's the DIY one that was about £3k lol

Be interested in a link if you can remember where, I will have a look over there anyway, their new GUI is not conducive to finding what you want quickly though, a backward step in that respect.

It seems it was not that recent. Sorry.
Contact Mellstock on the Wam, he may have a few coming.
