Neve vs. Vintech
I ran into an old engineer friend last night at a gig, he had just returned from doing some tracking work at a studio in Florida, and of course, the talk eventually got around to gear... in particular, to preamps.

Hi all.
It's been quite a while since I was behind a VR - can someone set me straight on the EQ section? IIRC, the freqs (bands) are:
33 - 370
190 - 2k
800 - 8.7k
1.5 - 17
I was hoping that someone who knows better than I can either confirm that, or set me straight. Don't worry about the Q and the shelving.
Thanks in advance.
... you should!
I have an original 33609/C on the way. It's coming from the UK to me (USA). Most likely, the voltage selector switch will be at 220 (or 240?); I will set that to 120.
The question I have is in regards to the fuses - the main fuse and the secondary. Do I need to change either of those?
Thanks in advance.
Any one that tries this, please let us know what you think and why you are into hybird mixing and chose or are thinking about choosing this?
I'm looking at a 42 channel Neve for my studio,price is very reasonable for a Neve.I realize this console is designed for broadcast.Having no automation means it's crippled in a mixdown situation,but is there a possibility of adding Necam,or Flying faders?Hows the mix bus?How do the pres and EQs sound compared to other used boards in the 10-15 grand range.would I be better off buying a new Alle
Well, not really emulation. Apparently there is a small loop of tape and an actual record and playback head in this thing. So, it's like a small tape saturator. Interesting. At first I thought "this is very cool". Then I thought, at $750 each I could probably by an actual 16 track ATR for the price of just a couple of these(ok, maybe three or four).

Ah, prairiesun.com
Look at this beautiful studio in the Bay area and what they are using for consoles. They just registered here so I had a gander. Remy, this will make you smile:
