You can also link up to four of those puppies for a larger rig, but how do you compare its sound to your other mic pres? Does the 2 buss sound okay or just good enough for monitoring?

For about $700.00 USD it looks like a nice piece, but does it sound good enough to be used as your main mic pre system if you only had the bread for that one?
That SP828 does look pretty cool...how does it sound?
I know the EC-2 upgrade is a quite expensive, I am now kicking myself for not buying the XR version when I first got my HD24.

Yep I will need 24 channels pre's...I guess I wouldprefer them to be the same, but not necessarily. But I need them to obviously be rack mountable.
How are the Digimax pre's? Are the Digimax 96k's decent? I can find them used in my budget. What about the FS? What about other Presonus pre's?

If the EC-2 upgrade is $800 that would leave $2000 or so for pre's. Any recommendations for new pre's maybe in the $1000 for 8 channes?
Maybe I can find some things used or maybe I can sell some other things to get what I need.
Anybody need some old syndicated radio show vinyl, reel or cd's?? I have been selling off my collection and bought a bunch of mics....looks like I may do the same thing here.
Thanks for the input guys...I know you guys would be full of ideas.
