How do Sebatron preamps compare with Avalon AD2022?

Which one will be better? Avalon AD-2022 or 2 Avalon M5s? I have "heard" that M5s are a bit better. Is that true?

I've heard that it's really good for bass, but how does it sound on other stuff like electric and electric/acoustic guitars?

I was noticing that when I turn on my power strip/surge protector to get power to my AD2022, the channel 1 VU meter dances up and down real hard. Is this a problem, or can the preamp be damaged by this. Hell, the preamp doesn't have a pwer switch, and if I turn the input to lowest level, it still dances around. Any thoughts?

Hi, I recently got set up with gear to do some home recording. I thought I would share a recording I did using the following chain:

Audio-Technica 4033 (vocals); Taylor ES on 914 ce (guitar) --> Avalon AD2022 preamp --> E-MU 1212m sound card --> Cubasis OEM software that came with the card.

hello,

whats the Q of the bass and treble shelfs.

anyone knows ?

thanks a lot
:D

What have you heard of the quality of the VT-737sp combo? Is it as good as seperate pre-amp and compressor from avalon?

I am looking very hard at Sebatron right now for either a dual Pre 2000e VU or the Thorax channel strip. I have not made up my mind yet what my goal is. My DAW is SAW and the comp's and EQ on the channels are very very good so i am leaning towards a dual pre.

I also have an Avalon M5 right now. my mics are

SM57.

Hey gang, I have had one of these puppies backordered (from 8thstreet.com) for about 7 weeks and it is driving me nuts !

This is the first bit if kit I have had from Avalon Design and Im wondering, is this normal or is some one jerking my chain ?

Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying a Brauner VM1 to use with my Avalon 737 going straight to my ApogeeAD 16X and in to my pc. .
But it's a little bit scary that I can't find nothing on the internet about the duo 737/VM1. The mic is a bit too expansive to gamble, so please give me some input on this one!
