BradenD Tophias But that's me. And yes, a few years ago the Loksound motor control was superior to that of Soundtraxx. But I think with the advent of Tsunami2 they're both equal in that respect. I have had Loksound 5 and tsunami 2 big steam (2021 release) in an Athearn Big boy as a control. The Loksound 5 provided significantly better motor control. I don't believe the Tsunami 2 steam decoders are priced well. They get outcompeted by both Loksound 5 and TCS Wow Steam in audio, performance, and control. However, they aren't bad, just badly priced. Econami decoders are a much better value proposition if you can find them.

I've installed a couple of Economi sound decoders and am quite pleased with them. They're not a "bare bones" decoder at all, and given the price difference to Tsunamis, are a good deal.
DigitalGriffin But soundtraxx tsunami 2 isn't bad. But people are often disappointed by the diesel sounds.
