I don't mean to nit pick here. I mean, if this thing sounds like a Neve for $300, I'll be thrilled and all, but couldn't they have also thrown in some little rubber dots to stick on the bottom of this thing since it isn't rackable? I think I've got some silicone ones around here somewhere... Hmmmm

Okay, I found my silicon dot feet things, stuck 'em on the bottom and plugged the Pre73 in. One thing is for sure, it defintely has plenty of gain. I connected my RCA 77D to the thing and it has more than enough juice to power that ribbon. I've only plugged a few mics into it so far, with varying success. I think this sounds a little woolier than I would have preferred, but I need to play with it a little bit more. For me, the jury is still out. It might be worth keeping as long as I have the RCA 77D, though.
