Hello All,

Considering attempting to convert my Atlas RS3 to Sound. Not a lot of room in that shell, so kind of scared of the idea, but I know it can be done.

Ive done a lot of listening on Youtube to both the Loksound and Tsunami sounds, they are pretty close from what I can tell.

Anyone have either and care to comment on if you like it or not?
 
I have both, and like both.
The peripheral sounds including the horn sound better with the Loksound, and motor control is better out of the box.
MUing seems better with the Tsunami, and the Taunami board replacement type installs better in the RS3.
 
Loksound has an Atlas style board as well - the Loksound Select Direct. I much prefer the Loksound over the Tsunami. The prime mover has more bark and the horns are much crisper. Tsunami horns all sound muffled to me.

Mark.
