Has anyone used Chandler limited stuff (especially 1073 "recreation") .How do they compare to the real thing . I can't get a hold on real Neve 1073's so I'm considering one of the
alternatives but to be honest I haven't heard any of them and I'd like to have some opinions from users of those . :roll:

Haven't talked to anyone who's actually tried one of these $5000 beasts. Saw them at AES and it looked interesting. Anyone comments?

Here's the site:

Do any of you pro in here own or have opinion about these pre? I am about to buy either one but need a little more help in seeing which one I should get. I rented a Neve 1073 and love the sound but can't find one, more like, can't afford one. so I have to settle for either of these.

any suggestion?

thanks
