Vintech 1272 or Avalon 2022

i am wondering what to buy ..

i want your opinions recommendation.

thank.

Im trying to decide on the 2 channel version of the Sebatron vs. the Vintech 1272. has anyone done any sound comparisons/give me any advice?

can someone tell me the differences between this two pres?

thank you in advance!

I was just about set on saving for the Avalon AD2022 mic preamp and a friend who works at the recording workshop told me to check out the Vintech 1272 for about half the price. I want to get the best pre I can, something I'll be happy with for many years to come. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

That's is, it's between those 2 now. I've seen many "this pre vs that pre" threads, here and on other forums, but yet these 2 battle it out. As far as I can tell, they have very similar specs and are similarily priced at around $1400. Many will say they're both excellent units and it's gonna come down to the sound. The reviews are very favorable for both of them, from what I've read elsewhere.

Has any one tried the Vintech 473? I really want some 1073 pres but I can't afford to get the real things. Would the vintch be a smart choice?

Hey guys still narrowing the gap on what gear to get. I was advised by a salesman that the best all around pre for rock/ pop rock and alt country in his opinon was the Vintech X73i. A Neve 1073 clone with EQ. I was also looking at the Vintech X73 (not X73i) and Great River Pre (no EQ)(he said the GR was darker). Also was advised to get the AEA ribbon mic instead of the Royer R-121 .

Okay, so Vintech claims that the X73 and the X73i are sonically the same but with a $400 difference in pricetags is that possible?

Has anybody ever heard them side by side?

Thanks!

Hi, what do you people think about Vintech preamps as a means for achieving a warm "vintage" tone on DAW recordings. For instance, the new Vintech 473, although has "essential" EQ, offers 4 channels of "1073 style" preamplification.

I'm looking for some vintage Neve modules preamps and my question is:
Everybody knows about the high quality of the Brent Averill modules. But this new company (Vintech Audio) promises the same as Brent Averill with a really low price... ($1289 vs. $1859 for Brent).
Do you think that it's possible for two channels of original Neve 1272 to cost $1289?
