... for his 990C Op Amp.

I'm new to this forum; have been reading posts for some time and found it very educational. I have a question, especially to those who have some experience recording voice-overs.

I know the prices for these range from about $1,500 to $3,600... but I'm not asking to compare the units based on price...

Which is the best all around pre for vocals, acoustic and/or bass guitar?
The Hardy M1 would be with the optional output transformer installed.

I've read up on everything I can find but want to hear from actual experience... please.

Looking for a vocal mic that matches up well with the Hardy m-1. I have heard the at4050, which sounds pretty good, but curious about others.

Hi all
Just wondering what the real-world differences are between the M-1 and the Twin Servo. I know what the technical differences are, but I'm wondering if the more expensive type is better, differerent or whatever.

Thanks
John

Does anyone have an informed opinion regarding comparisons of SCA mic preamps vs John Hardy, or Great River? I realize the "bang for the buck" argument on behalf of SCA. But from a head-to-head comparison of sheer sonic quality, can you hear a difference between e.g. the SCA J99 vs the John Hardy manufactured mic preamp?

Does anyone have any comments, reviews or opinions on the john hardy micpre m1?

I am thinking of buying the
John Hardy M1 and wanted to
know what you guys think of this
pre.
I would like to be able to use it
with my Royer ribbon mic.

thanks for your view!

I recently hooked up with a nice fella in this forum and bought a 4 ch. John Hardy M-1 from him. I've since learned that these pres can have an output transformer added as an option. First of all, any thoughts in general about what I should expect once I've gotten them. Second, what's the difference in sound with the output transformers?

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with these mic preamps. I live in south Texas, where there is no way for me to be able to listen to high-end mic preamps. I rely on professionals opinions to help me make prudent purchasing decisions. Any input would help.
Thanks Abraham
