somebody should do a low end/hi end mic pre shoot out.

ive never seen this type of thread on GS in all the time ive been on here.
why not ?
could be fun, everyone posting their uneffected samples from various mic pre's.
ie dry.
mebe a blind competition ?.guess the pre ?
would be nice if some seasoned users posted examples too.
without saying what pre was used ?
have a rule mebe that one can cheat as much as needed to present the best dry trak ?
(eg noise removal/eq/comp/lim/trak clean up etc is fine..but must be dry. no fx.)

post examples from the lowest of the low. up to hi end.
starting with the cassette dek mic pre.
then under 100 buk pre. eg behr/art/other pre's.
then in ascending price ranges. 100/200.
200/500, 500/800. 800/1100. 1100/1500. 1500/2k. 2k up.

but in the posting , no prices or names of pre's quoted ?
include peoples home brew/diy mic pre's too ?

i'm sure the idea might get put down by some.
but i feel that mebe some folks new to recording might find it valuable.
and get a feel for how much money to spend on this type of gear .
