Whew... I got about 75% through the Neve pre-amp tonight. I should be able to finish that guy up easily tomorrow. It has some pretty meaty input and output transformers, so it should definitely have that fat Neve transformer sound I would think. I'm guessing it'll be a quite nice replacement for the Great River (one of the things sold to finance the DIY binge) for a third of the price. I'm betting that the Amer. Jazz through the DI into the Neve pre-amp into the LA-2A is going to be Creamy Bass Love. We'll see.

So once I finish the Neve tomorrow, it's either on to the API pre-amp or the LA-2A. There was a missing set of heat sinks so I can't finish the API unless the replacements arrive tomorrow. If not, then it'll be tuesday before I see them. So I'll start on the LA-2A. I just wanted to get one pre-amp done and known working before the old pre-amps get shipped out tuesday.
