What makes it different from the single line input circuit from a d2b or a mixdream ?
I´m not sure if you understand my question:
How to make a Neve BCM 10 out of my SPL Mixdream (please don´t tell me buy the real thing....I´m looking for new solutions...) I´m not in the market for a vintage/new Neve/api/SSL console but I definetly would be in the market of 16 channels of dicrete class A preamps with transformers/magical pepper/mystical whatever big sound flavour....
What´s missing ?
I thought a long time that 2-buss processing with all kinds of vintage comps/eqs is the solution, but it´s DEFINETLY NOT....
...so I´m trying to make some thoughts about the single channel circuits

Honestly, why not buy a console ? Just to try something new ? I was in your exact same position last fall and after investigating all the options I bought a console. It just made no sense to buy all the pieces of a console, rackmount them, wire them, and figure out a way to interface the whole thing. It's a kludge no matter how you look at it. If you want the big console thing, get the console. Get a little Daking, Wunder or Tonelux console and be done with it.
