Trial by Fire. Flame on. I bet I could use the ME1NV after it came out of the fire.
Its not just better components. Its CUSTOM components, designed into the unit with LOVE and CARE, while listening to the unit with microphones and instruments over a long period of time. The Power Supply design, RF shielding and protection, discrete amplifier circuitry, transformer design and implementation AND EVEN THE METAL WORK, are WORLD CLASS. The sound of all Great River product is FAR more musical than ANY consumer equipment I have ever heard. Bottom line, the designer of the product LISTENED carefully to it, and then crafted his soul into it, being a musician, recording engineer and and all around great guy. I hear that in the product.

But in the long run, the GR will pay for itself time and time again.

Yea, when it never breaks, nor fails. In the 3+ years I have worked for Mercenary I have never had to replace or have serviced/repaired any Great River Mic amps. NEVER. They are life long partners in your studio, if you like what they do and the response that they offer for your equipment.
