Any Groove Tubes "The Brick" users out there?

I just read on another post where someone said The Brick is basically a Vipre just on one setting. Now I doubt this is true but I have been reading where people say it makes a great tube mic preamp. I've been wanting to get a good tube pre and was just wondering how this would compare to say a UA 610 or single channel Manley? Thankx

Only getting sound out of one monitor. can someone help?

I purchased a pair of m-audio studiophile BX5 monitors and hooked them up to my m-audio 410 firewire audio interface. The problem is that I'm only getting sound out of one of the monitors. The TRS inputs are running from the monitors to the analog 1 and 2 inputs. Apparently the analog 1 input is doing its job, but no luck with the second.

Im just curiouse which compressors do you consider right for this type of jobs. Mention some brands and in what category would they fall ?

-Mastering mainly heavy rock music.
-forget about budget
