Advice on upgrade path

magibatalla · 13th November 2007

I'm considering upgrading my setup with 4 quite different purchases and I'm not sure what should come first (what would improve my works the most). I would like to get them all one day, but it's quite a lot of money so I'll have to go step by step. Here come the items:

- AD/DA conversion: Prism Sound Orpheus (now working with those on the Mackie Onyx Firewire card)

- PREAMPS: API A2D and Great River MP-2NV (now working with a tube HCL pre, I'm happy with it but I don't have any other color to choose)

- DSP based PLUGINS: UAD Nevana and SSL Duende (I only have the Renaissance and Masters bundles now)

- VOCAL MIC: not sure which one, 87, Korby, HCL Faust? (now working with a 414 TL-II and a pair of KM184 as my best options)

Would welcome any opinion. Thanx in advance!

Do you mean you don't like my Genelec 8030?

I think there are weaker points in my setup...
BTW, added your site to my bookmarks, nice stuff!
