Hi Guys!
This is my first post - what a great community you have here.

I have been using my E-MU 1616m for a year or so, it produces satisfactory results, however I find the preamps dull (maybe thats my engineering ability!)

I am based in LA and for a while I tinkered with possibility of getting some lower end gear like a Eureka or Voicemaster, but now want to get something that will last longer.

I like the idea of the all in one boxes. The two I like are the Focusite ISA430 mk2 or the Universal Audio UA 6176.
I can't afford new of course, so I'm looking used.

Does anyone have any advice in relation to these units?
Or has actually used them?
Or suggest something better?
Are repairs cheaper for one over the other?

Is this overkill for a voiceover artist (I just give them a file of my voice recording)

Thanks so much!
Thomas
