Only really dealt with 2264e (which simply are my desert island comp!) and 32254 which are nice.. 2 in series on a vocal and it JUST dont move from the centre image and stays there upfront and out there like a mofo!!!#

The mojo is similar.
The only issue is the output transformers.
The 33314's i've used had 640's which changes the sound completely.
With the 640 the sound is much thinner than usual.
Its useful but not as "Neve" like.
You can buy Geoff Tanner's mod and i think it become a Class A stage(which i've never heard).
On the recapping issue my personal opinionis you have to use the original caps(i think they are phillips).
All the other caps i've tried change the sound too much.
Compressors are very picky devices compared to micpre's.
You just develop a certain interaction with the release and attack times.
The caps play a big part in this(of course).
Once you change that man all hell breaks lose.
The 2264's,32264a's,33609's and 33314's to my ears all have the same character.
The only difference i've ever heard is in the hi's(32264a compared to 33609).
But that can be for a couple of reasons.
