my .02 based on modules

I've used several Calrec modules and noticed that they sound a bit "faster" than everything else. Kinda like their slew rate was different (in relation to amps). They work sometimes, and don't work other times just like everthing else. They are never my first choice when tracking to a digital recorder, but their attack can lend a hand to an analog rig. If you want some thing to ring your neck in a mix, they do it quite well, but without apologies, not as tastefully as Neve, but nowhere near as slow as a V72 or old Ampex.

My .02, based on modules, not consoles

I definately think they are sleepers, but I don't think they sound like Neve in the EQ, or Pre department from my experience. Not
a bad thing, just different.
