I know Ben Duncan very well indeed. An interesting and entirely self taught zen master of audio. He uses Microcap as his spice modelling tool, and knows spice modelling backwards and forwards. In fact he has been getting Microcap free from their early days because he was a beta tester for them.

So it is not at all surprising that he won a spice battle with Doug Self.
