I've seen a website. don't have the url right now...but they sell kits to build your own mic preamps based on Neve and other high-end mic preamps.

Has anyone ever built one? Is it worth the money? I'd like to build one just for fun, but if it is a quality product then I think that is just grand!

I'm looking for a good mic preamp-amp and compressor in one unit. I've looked at the whole Focusrite Platinum range but they don't have enough controls on the compressors for me. They only give you like 2 or 3 from threshold, ratio, attack, release and makeup gain.

How would the Neve 1073 mic preamp clash wit the u87?
then into a Manley El-Op comp? For R&b/rap vocals, will we get a pro sound? We currently use 737s with our u87s, will we notice a big difference by replacing the mic preamps?

Trying to decide on the 7600 strip or the lunchbox. All feedback appreciated.

Well its time for another "Give me your recomendations" question again.

Currently my mic preamp set up consists of the following:

1 PreSonus MP20
1 True Systems PS2/analog
1 16 ch. Mackie VLZ pro
Also the pres on my Tascam DM-24 and Tascam FW 1884

Hi Peeps,

Currently looking to spend up to £2500 ($4000) on a Mic Pre.

In two minds between the Avalon 737SP, or the Universal Audio 6176.

Can anybody recommend any of these models (or any others in the top spec price range)?

Any suggestions very welcome.

Thanks
steve

Hi fellow studio junkies. To get to the point. I own a small scale home studio. I am researching what kind of hardware/ software additions to make to achieve the best, budget friendly, BOTTOM LINE.
I know most of you, "big boys," out there will say the more $$$ the better the results. I know this.

Hi all, well, I've done a TON of reading of old threads, and need to ask this last question before I swipe the plastic.

i'm thinking about economical ways to alter/upgrade/expand the pallete of my gear set-up.
i have a Manley mic preamp and was thinking of several options.

the one that i'm unsure of is this:
