Opinions on the Groove Tubes MD1B?

Either the Tube or FET version?

I understand that these are re-makes (or cheaper copies) of some earlier GT mics.

Musician's Friend is blowing these out and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these mics and could describe the sonic difference one could expect between the tube and FET (the FET being describes as "warmer" in product ads).

need some quick opinions about a mic preamp

Hey Guys! After talking with many of you about gear I narrowed my preamp decision to a Great River pre that sells for $1075 but...today I stopped by a local dealer and the manager wants to blow out his Avalon M5's for $720 because he doen't want to carry them anymore. I wanted to get a Great River because many of you are thrilled with them and said that they are an awesome all around pre.

Eventide Opinions: Eclipse vs. . DSP Series v. H3000

Hello,

Considering purchasing an Eventide effects unit.
Especially considering use for vocals--vocal quality, flexibility--but will use for other instruments as well. Looking for quality sounds, flexibility. And value, of course, always matters somewhat.

Opinions on :

-Eclipse vs.
-DSP 4500/7000/7500 vs.
-H3000?

Thank you.

Opinions on the Sony MXP-2000 console?

I am looking to replace my Mackie 16 with a better console for warming up my DAE output (Logic / MOTU 896). I am looking at a couple consoles like the Sony MXP-2000 and Studers. Any professional advice? I'm open to other mixers $5000 and less and I am looking for nice warm sweeteening eq and channels that sound good when the gain is crunched. Thanks!
