No... but if they are both perfectly set up, you'd be hard pressed to hear the differences, which would be far more subtle. I think the condition of the tape heads themselves as well as the condition of the preamps and line amps makes a difference. The rest is just wire. I can usually tell the difference between one with the old WME boards as opposed to the PML 1 or 2.
If you bring the Orchestron to NEARfest I'll gladly have a look.

Also another interesting fact is that everyone seems to think that their Mellotron sounds exactly like everyone elses...I have two Mellotrons side by side in the studio and they dont sound the same when shifting tapes around. Is there such a thing as a Mellotron Standard...?
