I did some side-by-side tests and even posted some MP3s long ago but they
are gone now. My ∗opinion∗ is that the 490 is very close to the sound of a
904A. That said, I have two 904A's that sound different so it is
unrealistic to expect any filter to match, especially in such a subjective
test. The 490 has the essence of the 904A and sounds great! The interface
isn't quite the same so it doesn't quite "feel" like a 904A when you are
working with it, especially in the resonance dept. (this topic has been
covered before and there are mods to make the filter resonate at a higher
knob setting.)
It is a great sounding filter and, as it has already been mentioned, that
is the most important part.
