Heritage Audio just released a cheaper version of their Fairchild 670 clone that somehow costs less than half what the original Herchild Model 670 went for while adding extra features. The Herchild Next Gen Model 670N hits shelves at €2999 and keeps the same transformer-coupled op-amp plus vintage tubes from the pricier model, but throws in six custom transformers and more attack/release options than the classic unit ever had.
The company claims this thing delivers identical sound quality to their flagship recreation while boosting functionality by 150 percent, which seems wild considering the massive price drop. Progressive DC Threshold control handles both ratio and knee adjustments at once, letting users dial in anything from light compression to brick-wall limiting without getting bogged down in menus.
