|  Neve Portico faceplate conversion! For all of you Portico owners who've been waiting and/ or wondering whether buying the conversion kit is worth it - Holy Crap, just do it! Just installed the new faceplate package on my 5043. EASY to install and My God, it's SO MUCH EASIER TO READ!!! It costs 107.57 when you include shipping etc. It is SO worth it! The low contrast screening of the original series is something I learned to accept, but realistically, it was hard to have confidence - especially if you have other people around who may or may not "readjust" your unit. The metal knobs feel so much better. The top cover of the unit is included in the kit and it's a nice black and truthfully the front looks a lot better in person than the photos on the website would lead you to believe. If you have thought about it, trust me, just do it! |

| very cool, but i'll keep mine stock. 20 years down the road someone will swear the black and red face porticos are the really great ones that you need to own and those other ones are complete crap but at least we all know they're the same damn thing... ... or are they |

BTW... I don't think 20 years from now any of the old plastic buttons will be around, so I don't imagine anyone's going to think they sound better....ha! | |

I've ordered the conversion-kit directly at: Rupert Neve Designs I did try to order via the german distributor first but they behaved a little bit ignorant so I preferred to order directly. If you should need further assistance please don't hesitate to send me a PM.

| Metal - I could be wrong, but they totally feel heavier and better than the old knobs! |
