As the subject goes.

I'm just curious.

There are many other Neve input modules that could and/or should have reached the same status but still the 1073 is now, in fact, THE Neve module.

Why not the 1084 ? More versatile eq but same preamp (correct me if I'm wrong). Or the 1066 which is very similar to the 1073.

Why 1073 ?
