They are 'quick' as opposed to 'slow' (ala API which give a compressed thwack on drums or 'juiced overtones' on electrics).
IMHO Good for:
Stunning 'you are there' jazz style recordings
i.e "my god that shaker sounds like it is in the room next to me"..
If you like a Ry Cooder / Ricky Lee Jones style 'jazz reality' sound these give it BIG TIME! (IMHO).
They help make sounds leap out right at you.. and add a 'classy slickness' I borrowed a 4 way unit for months, I still to this day have repeat clients from that period!!!!!!
I honestly dont know why I never got me some in the end...
Finaly, the cumulative effect of using them on 'everything' (every overdub) made for a stunning overall sound to the projets I used em on...
I've tried the 9098 pre/EQ and while I like the EQ I haven't been knocked out by the preamp. Very bland and midrangy to my ear. Is there a difference between the pres in the DMA and the EQ?

The opinions on the 9098 pre/eq seem to be evenly split between those like yours, favoring the eq section and the opposite. I liked the pre, but wasn't exactly thrilled by the eq. Go figure.
Still, no one seems to dispute the fact that the unit has class.

I agree with Jules...they are clean, but with balls. And yes, they are a good deal. Wish I could afford the console (don't we all). Good Luck!

I've got two of the 9098 EQ units.
My first 'go to' pre for most stuff.
AWESOME eq section.
FANTASTIC with a Distressor or Fatso either between the pre/eq or after. Oh, what the hell, even both sometimes.
