Another vote for John Hardy M1s... Right On SlikJ...

My other choice would be the Vintech 2 channel job. Everything just glues together when these get used. The DI inputs are really useful for keyboards and bass as well.

As far as converters go, I'm going to get reamed for saying this, but I'm not a big fan of the Apogee stuff. It sounds a bit hyped compared to a lot of other converters. (however, the softlimit on the Apogee stuff is brilliant!!!)

Keep that Sapphire thing or whatever it is for right now... ***Just make sure that you can bypass any built-in preamps or eq or anything else that the box has***

I'd suggest to get things rolling, and see how many channels of conversion you might want. (Maybe stereo mics for acoustic, and a room mic??? Maybe 4 mics for a B3 with Leslie speaker???)
