Hi,

Thanks for this. If there is one thing I noticed from these tests is that I like the Neve sound and I hate the API Mic Pres. They sound flat, and people been talking so much about API. Never worked with it but sorry, am very disapointed in their sound from these examples...

On the other hand, the differences that I can hear are so subtle that I'm sure I could EQ and verb the signals so that in the final mix, no-one would be able to tell me what I recorded it with. THis proves to me once more that we're sometimes paying thousands of bucks for very very subtle differences that the ear can detect. Silly people we are :-)

Thanks for this. I could send you A/B files from an SSL Mic Pre versus a Focusrite Mic Pre soon but that's all I have, really. Would like to have a Neve Pre someday...

Cheers Lawrence
