I've built 16 channels of JLM Baby Animals now.
8x JLM14, JLM99v, JLM111DC
8x Cinemag CMI-8PCA, API 2520, JLM111DC
They are fantastic, a friend and I blind tested the API style Baby Animal against an API 3124+ and it was very, very close. The JLM was a touch less agressive but I think that is because of the 8:1 input transformer where I'm pretty sure API use a 10:1
The Baby Animals with all JLM parts are my favourite preamps, they are big and warm and easily on par with the JLM API and A-Designs Pacifica preamps I own and smoke the Focusrite RED that I sold when I got the JLM's.
Incidently this was my first ever DIY project and 15 out of the 16 preamps worked straight away and the other just had a tiny solder bridge that was easily picked up with a magnifying glass.
Biggest bargain in pro audio at the moment IMHO.
