There is no cheapest price on a Neve... There is only a couple dealers and Alto isn't one of them... They have pretty much the same price no matter who you buy them from. Same kind of goes with API (I am an API dealer and have been known to hook up GS members, though.. wink, wink)..
Anyway, I was reading your other thread, and I just want to let you know that there isn't a magic piece of gear that's going to instantly give you the sound you are looking for. A lot of people don't want to hear that, but if you combine good technique with good ears you will get a great sound without any fancy microphones, etc. I use an SM57's, SM7's and RE20's and I get great vocal sounds. If you are really looking for a good mic pre for hip hop vocals, then check out the Aurora Audio GTQ2mkIII. It has the Neve-style sound that you are looking for and will cost you thousand's of dollars less than a pair of AMS Neve 1073 re-issues. I recall you saying you wanted to spend $3-4k on a vocal chain and a Shure SM7, GTQ2mkIII and a Distressor will give you a great chain for that kind of money.
