They seem to be held in such high regard as kick-ass, but are they really that cool? I have a couple pre's that I think are pretty good:GR MP2NV, X73i, UA 2-610. Would a Neve 1073 just blow them out of the water, or could I hear it and go, "Eh, a little cooler" but not go berserk or anything?

All I hear about is how great this preamp was. I could never afford a real one, so I would like to know of a current manufacturer (and model) that makes a great clone. Thanks all.

What is the difference between the Neve 1073 and the 1272? I'm looking the get some Neve preamps but seems that that all the 1073's have the eq which I don't need, I just need the actual input preamp. Is the 1272 the input preamp for the 1073?

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?

Hi guys,

I was thinking of buying some great pre, because I really think this could warm up my vocals recording.

Everybody speaks about Neve 1073, I would like to know if there is some audio comparison between some pres somewere to be downloaded.

Chandler LTD-1, Vintech X73 or Averill 1073?

I need to make a choice. I can only afford one of these.

It will be used on guitars with a Royer R-121

All feedback appreciated.

Any thoughts on which unit will hold its value the longest?

i wan to build a channel Neve 1073 with eq,
some my friend say that is no suitable because the real Neve sound is incomparable.
my questio is:
mounting the original transformers by carnhill,
the other components are consumer,why the sound will be incomparable?
there are a lot of constructors that sell this module.

thank you

Good? Bad? Do you know of something that you believe to be better? I'll be renting a pair here shortly so I'll be seeing for myself, but was just curious to hear of others experiances.

Thanks,
Robert

I'd like to get thoughts from those who know of or have bought products from Dan Alexander. He seems to sell a lot of his stuff on Ebay. I have a Langevin DVC and Apogeerosetta into my 001 now (looking to upgrade to HD soon). Thanks in advance.
