i'm just curious if anyone has taken a spider and strapped on a bunch of sick outboards like ssl channel strips, millenia origins, varimus, stc-8s. and then summed analog stems into it..... anyone? bueller?....anyone?

it's funny, but at $7000 list, it's still a great "value" because you get 8 quality preamps which must be worth something.. plus you get a stereo a-d and an 8 channel a-d. and if those a-d's kick butt... well you could easily drop $3500 on some lavrys. so if the pres are worth $1500 and the conversion is worth $3500. then it's really like you're paying $2000 for the actual summing/hardware. and that's not expensive for cranesong quality.

just my wacky thinking...
