"Driving" mic preamp's and other gear - overload

Care to discuss?

I have some TLA gear that likes to be 'driven' I have the option on some Neve channels but haven't learned the pro's and con's of it yet.

Who drives their mic preamp's or any other gear for that matter (& reduces the ouput level elsewhere) to get the sound they like?

Helios channels DONT like it at all!

Your thoughts?

Using gear for stuff it wasn't really meant for?

Jay Kahrs mentions below he uses his TC M2000 multi FX unit as a converter (24 bit! Nice!) We use our digital FX boxes as converters often too (when our best converter is out on hire for example)

Fletcher I think has a compressor on his TV set at home...

I know Dave Martin in Nashville likes to keep his coffee warm on a favorite piece of valve gear!

New G5's...when?

I am in the market for a new faster computer, aren't we all?, and unlike some of us, I don't have a huge
budget. Realisticly, I could get mysely into a G4/733 and be content for a minute. Although I would prefer a
G4/800DP I just don't have the dough. I'm wondering if anybody has info on release dates as well as price
