I really never complain about the Avalon 737. I can always get a great vocal, it has a great EQ, and the high-pass filter is key for me with vocals and guitars. It is tube, but is still clean, and if you want to push the thing, the High-Gain mode rocks. But I have to admit, I hate the compressor.

The other pre I find myself going to a lot lately is the Chandler LTD-1. I know it's supposed to be a "Neve-style" pre, but it sounds awesome and the EQ is absolutely amazing.
