i have a duet too, and i say this out of the fact that bekuz it was the first preamp i owned that my chain i'm sure has kinda developed outward from it, but i LOVE the mic pre's on the duet, how clear they are. bekuz of that, my [still small but steadily growing collection of] outboard tendencies have been... well... quite dirty. hot slutty dirty; the duet has taken away no less than like 90% of any worry i ever might ahve about an accurate image capture. (reading back, i see that FarWestWrenchCo said pretty much the same thing, so +1) if there's anything i could ask to learn from thinking this out, it'd be: does it go the other way? like as in, words i've heard used multiple times to describe the GR are creamy & golden (plz no lectures about subjective terminology, no what i think is creamy & golden isnt what you think of as whiskey-harsh and black as my heart, it's far closer to what you indeed also would describe as creamy & golden), and preamps are (now not subjectively speaking at all) one of the most royally important things in anyone's rig, so how does this influence your other choices of gear?
