Running 1967 fender tele through all of them ,I found the following: Avalon:Pretty clear, not a lot of color, not very punchy pretty much what I put in Pacifica very punchy,more dimension and a nice low and top end it just sounded better in my opinion . Neve 1073: punchy has a great low end...

Hi, I wanted to introduce a new 312 style mic pre to the forum. The Warm Audio WA12 is completely discrete with custom wound USA made Cinemag transformers, 71db's of gain and high headroom. I've sold 8 channels of this design to a Neve console owner in Florida at a much higher price, it is the...

I need a preamp for recording vocals. Is anyone familiar with either the Avalon M5 or the Great River ME-1NV? These are the two I'm debating between. They are basically the same price. I look forward to hearing any thoughts,

Had a session the other night. Plugged the bass into my Avalon 737 with the Avalon set to "Instrument". Was getting signal thru the Avalon into my board, where I set the trim to appropriate level. Recording went fine over the two hour session. I only found out later that the bass was an...

I am trying to upgrade my studio right now and I am looking to get the most for my money. My buddy runs an Avalon VT737 and I really really like the results we get with it. I know I need some help in the analog preamp/compressor territory. Is there a better option out there for the 2100 I'd drop...

Hello people, I am wondering from sometime now why when I turn on or off the phantom power on my Avalon 2022 for my AKG 414 BXL II it gives 2 or 3 signal hits for over +3 dbs, an then settles. They work great together, but always behaves the same manner after turning on/off its phantom +48...

Hi everyone.....i recently came across an Avalon VT 737 sp preamp that i could pick up for a fair price. I have heard nothing but incredible things about this piece of gear and im sure it would be quite a step up from what im using now.... my main concern is that at the moment im only using...

I can pick up a 737sp for about $1600 (used), so I'm trying to get some feedback. I know they're well renown, but I also know that a lot of other pres have come on the scene since it has at roughly the same price point. I'd really like to get another pre to experiment around with and since this...

After a very helpful previous post I now have more questions regarding recording Jazz guitar. I play fingerstyle and pick style jazz guitar on a custom built 7 string archtop through a Polytone Minibrute IV. I have been experimenting with recording some solo jazz pieces for quite some time. I...

I just added (2) VT737sp preamps to my studio. I applied a 1kHz tone at 0dB to both. One VT VU reads -3dB and the other is about -.5dB. When metering the unchanged output, I read about 0dB. The VU, when set to monitor the output, does not seem to be calibrated correctly. I know you can adjust...

Anyone ever compare the stock M5 with the one outfitted with Jensen Transformers? I used to have one of the latter, but it got completely destroyed. I recently got a standard one (without the Jensen transformers) and I can't help but feeling the like the jensen model sounded a bit brighter and...
