The guy that I am talking to said that he uses the real deal 1073's all the time and the GTQ-2 is just not the real deal "but it is really good." I don't know how to take that from a guy selling me his unit to pay for his 1073's that he just ordered. Sounds like a really honest cat and he did say he liked them but why order the real deal if the GTQ did not get him 95% of the way there??



Again interesting....
I've got original 1073's and 1084's among alot of other boutiqe pre's and the auroras weren't meant to be clones of the neves,they've got their own sound,albeit neve in flavor but they arent supposed to be 100% of anything other than themselves.My dakings ,wunders, chandler's ,v76's,helios are all the "real deal"If you want 100% of a neve than an ams or original unit is the way to go .If you want a great sounding pre on it's own merits the GTQ will do you well
And yes, I'm in the process of adding a gtm 822 mixer and GTQ to my arsenal as well..
