I HAVE $25k to Spend! I need Advice Getting to the HIGH-END LEVEL!

I am a first time poster and a long time reader, really happy to be here this place rocks!

It is time for me to change the layout of my entire studio with new gear! I have 25,000 to invest! I have been awaiting this time for years and I need help getting into the right setup!

MY SETUP AS OF NOW:

Anyone own any high-end Channel Strips &/or Preamps

I'm looking into some new gear in my quest to get that full, bright, balanced, "expensive studio" sound. Mainly I record instrumental stuff: keyboards, sampled drums from my MPC-4000, direct bass, and miked guitar. I never record more than 2 tracks at a time. There's so many choices as far as preamps, channel strips, EQ and compressors, it's really hard to choose what to buy.

those high-end vintage mic remakes

hi guys, i've been reading a lot about companies that do expensive remakes of the old classic mics (U47, C12, ELAM 251 etc), but unfortunately the majority of the info i can find comes from the companies own web sites or web sites that sell the brands. obviously not the least biased information. i've been checking out designs by wagner, korby and soundelux.

My first high-end gear for mastering.. which would you r

Hi friends..

I think it is already time to leave junior school, project days where I do everything with pluins, digital console and PT.

I do not want to sell one kidney, but which would you recommend me as a "pro" entry gear for more serious mastering?

I just do not want to be seen as "one more guy playing mastering stuff with plugins.."

Emagic don't care about their High-End Users

I got chatting with a Digidesign employee yesterday and we got discussing how long it will be before Logic announce support of the HD system.

The last time we spoke about this the time frame was a little hard to swallow, but now he says that Emagic don't think there is any call for them to upgrade Logic for Pro Tools HD support!
