I pretty much I like vocal sounds that are fairly dry (at least they sound like that in the Mix)....so that channel strip have to give certain character, mojo, vibe or qualities that just allows the vocal to sit nice in the mix already.
The Eq..I like silky top end , creamy and thick mid and tight low end(but not that type of compressed low end)..I do not like so much those Eqs that are super surgical and precise...I rather want an EQ that is musical and have a vibe.
Compressor: I want the compressor more for his tonal character than to control dynamics....so a super clean compressor that do not impart a tone....mmm not so cool...have to give something..at least a little bit of color and musicality.

I have a MC77/ Hammer EQ/ Trident S40 /Distressor with Brit Mode and a Fatso.
When I mean Modern can be an organic retro feel that can be tweaked to make it sound modern.... I hope tou get this...

Well hope that can help to allows you to provide me some input.

Thanks!
Sounds like the Aurora would be a good choice to me.... Big 3-D sounding with an open top end. Tons of "Marinair" transformer coloration on both the preamp EQ & the compressor (with separate ins and outs for both). It's an all around fabulous sounding unit with a nice beefy roundness (like a 1073, etc).
