I second dan's opinion.
we had a t1952 in the studio for a test run and didn't like it at all.

this compressor sounds really spiky and uneven.
also, the tube (toob) section is quite a joke: it adds a nasty grainyness and harsh top end.
that's the opposite of "warm"...

my 2 cents.

mercenary.com <- this is Mercenary Audio. They're an FMR dealer. They'll ship you one, as far as I know.

If you're looking to spend your money well - stay away from things that have tubes in them to "warm up" signals. This is just garbage. Sticking a tube in a garbage circuit is not going to make it any better.

You're better off buying a well designed piece of equipment. The RNC is just that. It doesn't have tubes, but it does sound great.

Using a tube as a "color device" is a shame. When you're using tubes to do their intended function, i.e. all the stuff we now use transisitors, and opamps for, they sound good in a well designed circuit.

What to say?All that time I was away from Behringer and I hope that I never bring home one,BUT ...I checked that Comp and Valve Pre in a big studio and the sound was not too bad.Strange!It worked well for the voice which we recorded.It was heavy rock female vocal.Some hi mid appeared with a little noise,but you can't hear it in the mix.Expander was working good too...

Who knows?I record one of the songs "Easy Feeling" /which we presented in "Audio projects" section here in RO/ with SM58 connected to Triton audio input,using it's Efx and nobody told that the voice sounded bad,even no word about the voice:)
