I wouldn't mind spending the extra cash for the EAR 825Q or maybe a Gyraf (if I ever find one).

If it's really that bad on tops and highs, then maybe I should buy something else.

Sabian, are you sure your MP was not a lemon? Maybe a whacky tube or something?
Must have been a bad outboard combination in the chain, a bad set of tubes or a jittery clock or something.
Or maybe you were working on some really dense mixes that didn't suit it?

I know that Manley used EH tubes in some positions for a while and believe me, that would explain it!
Those tubes had some real problems around two years ago.

My mastering version MP has Jan NOS 12AU7's and 6414's in it and it sounds killer!
