Any comparison notes you´d like to offer between the ULN-2 and ULN-8, since you have or have had both would be greatly appreciated.
Apart from the obvious 2 vs 8 in/pre amps, how does the ULN-2 stack up soundwise and in use.
Thanks

The 8 pres have more headroom. I don't find a marked difference between the sound of the 8's and 2's. The conversion on the ULN8 vs. the ULN2 and 2882 was marginally, but noticeably, better. I received mine after mixing a project through the 2882 and could immediately hear an improvement in imaging with the ULN8 when I set it up and ran the same mix through it.

I love my ULN2. I was going to sell it after getting the ULN8, but it's such a handy box for writing and mixing and having a couple extra great sounding pres when tracking. You really can't go wrong with any of the MH boxes.
