Since you have to be a subscriber to read it, perhaps you could paraphrase the

review...

Thanks,

Now I get a username/password dialog box that tells me "New server coming

OK, try the old one - that definitely works:

but you need an 'Esub' to read the current issue, or a 'p-sub' (physical
sub ? Paper-sub ? ;-) )

got my copy in the mail yesterday.
the reviewer seems to 'get' what the RNP is all about...although
unfortunately not *too* much detail in the review regarding actual
usage (no sweat for me, since i already own one, but for potential
buyers that sucks). the reviewer compares it with a low-noise, budget
mixer pre (presumably Mackie or Soundcraft) and decides that the RNP
sound great and 'open' versus the budget pre which makes his 4033
sound (and i quote) "honky"...hehehe

in the summary box:

Pros:
-very low distortion with wide audio bandwidth
-clear, natural sound
-plenty of headroom for driving level-hungry soundcards
-inexpensive

Cons:
-external PSU
-fairly basic level metering
-no low-cut switch

Summary:
i think the right compromises have been made to deliver truly
professional audio quality in a no-frills, low-cost package.

all in all, this review seems like a paraphrase of the RNP manual,
which pains me to say, as i love SoundOnSound...this review just
seemed a little lazy. however it is a favorable review and that's
good.

however, after the RNC and considering the price/performance ratio of
the RNP itself, it sort of sells itself, i think.
