Hi, what a great group! I'm considering a Focusrite 428 Pre pack because it looks like the most useful front end preamp to bypass my digi001 preamp and converters. (via ADAT) I like the Focusrite sound tho I don't have too much to compare it to. At about 2K is there something else I ought to be looking at? This is my first "bigger" preamp purchase so i want to invest. :w:

anyone using this new preamp?

I am investingating the Focusrite ISA 428 Pre. It has a price point around $1500 for 4 inputs based on Neve design. This would be my first "real" pre purchase. I am planning it to go into an Event EZ-Bus digital mixer direct to the a Mackie SDR recorder (on order) or straight into the Mackie depending on which converters sound better. Primary Mic is a RODE NT1.
