Today I played some videos of both the Tyros4 and Audya for my wife who knows nothing about what sounds best in the field. I've never told her I was looking for an Audya for any reason but it's usability by someone in my capasity.

I know YouTube videos is not the greatest venue to demo the sounds of each board but I picked the ones I know were recorded directly from the units rather than miced through a sound system.

My wife felt the Audya had the more realistic tone and sounding instruments over the Tyros4. She felt exactly what I felt all the time I had a T3 that the sound was thin on the Tyros4 compared to that of the Audya.

In turn she immediately said I should get one. I told her the price of a new one and she grunted so I need to find a used one in the US to make her happy musically and financially.

If anyone is aware of a reasonably priced used Audya4 or original Audya, let me know.

Thanks,
Vince
