[A6] A6 vs Minimoog soundbites

>>> So what's you ideal Minimoog serial number range Brian?

Umm... between #0001 and #13259!

They ALL sound different. Oldest ones sound very clear and bright, more like 
a modular. But less Minimoog-ey to me. They do hard attacks very well, the 
best I've heard. But they do not get the soft pillowy sound of later Minimoogs as 
well, the ones in the #6000 area do this stuff like the smooth bass better. 
And I have to say, the last ones (over 10,000) have very different oscillators 
and I'm not fond of them, but they do tend to blend in with mixes nicely, 
rather than "stand out" as older Minis do...

Has anyone compared older A6s to newer ones, side by side?
