I have not used the 33122's, although if I've read correctly they are the same pre as the 33114's but with different eq points. (but I may be corrected)

What I do know is that the 33114's are a necessary compliment to my original 1073's. The 33114's are faster (like an API or SSL), but still retain that neve vibe. Also the eq can dig in a lot more than a 1073.

It's not as fluffy (or round, woody, whatever) as a 1073, but killer in its own way.

I think the 1st Franz Ferdanand record was done with the 331## series and I know that Sigur Rios has been using them for a while.

Either way, they are pretty great!

Hope that helps,
Chris

The main difference is the following : 33122's have an external output transformer, 33114's an internal one.

The Vintech, nice as it is, pales in comparison to the real thing. Sorry.
