I'm currently in the market for a 2 ch. mic preamp. I'm interested in the CRane Song Flamingo and the Avalon AD2022. I'm also looking to get a few channels of compression as well, so I thought I'd throw in the Drawmer 1969 as an option and potentially kill two birds with one stone.

I'm looking a getting a new A/D converter as a front end for my Yamaha Aw4416
choices so far are used CRane Song Hedd (not the 192) or Lucid 2496

I guess the Crane Song would be "better" and i guess open up some more options but i've never seen one.Its also 3x the price of the lucid.

Anyone use one? Can they be upgraded to other sample rates(96hz or up)?

was wondering if anyone here has used either the Apogee AD-1000 / CRane Song HEDD?

Its a 5 year old or so 20-bit ADC with built in Millennia-Media preamps that are based on the HV-3s (these are dual servo where as the hv-3s are not servo pres)

When will you get it? Any news? :confused:
