Hi guysm what's your opinion in these.

What would you rather have and why. Don't tell me you want a Neve instead of an API if you haven't worked with both please. I am looking for people's opinions here, from people who can tell. no offense.

And how do e.g. Mic Pres of an SSL4000 compare to those above? And how about Mic Pres in a 9000? Difference hearable?

I am aware it is the complete vocal chain together with the Mic that makes the sound, but still, this should be an interesting debate. Bring it on guys!

Thanks.
Cheers
Lawrence.
