Hmmm, I don't know about that.

I own both. I like both. I like the Panasonic better though. Don't get me wrong; the Mackie sounds wonderful. The Ramsa just seems to sound a little more pleasing to my ear, especially on certain instruments.

It's unlikely that I would sell either - they complement each other quite nicely in my 24 channel rig.

YMMV though, as always. I will say that I was surprised by the Firestation when I first heard it. If not for the nightmare of computer connectivity that they became, I'm pretty sure I would have bought one. Then again, I like the sound of Presonus preamps anyway.
