| Christmas came a couple of days early for me, 2007 the year of the compressor !! Well, it sure as heck isn't a Duality console, or a Fairchild 670 or a CM7 or even a Telefunken USA Elam 251, but I figured there might be some of you who might enjoy a shot of my new acquisitions.  My Germanium mic pre is already racked so it didn't make this pic but imagine on top of the other two if you will. My journey for mic pres is complete...........for now................and it includes; Vipre Tube Tech MEC1A Pacifica Germanium Great River MP-2NV ISA 428 API 3124+ Shadow Hills GAMA 8  Anyways, I figure that 2007 is the year of the compressor I am currently down to a pair of Distressors, Red 3, RNC and a DBX Blue 160SL I have a TF Pro P38 coming here to try out. Also on deck; API 2500 Thermionic Phoenix Smart C2 RND Portico 5043 Purple Audio MC77 2007 is shaping up to be a good year For those of you sane enough not too log in during Christmas, Happy Holidays to you all, for the rest of us, see you on the boards!! Later

| The fellow mixing my band's project right now is using an API 2500 on some of it and since I know the sound of the sources inside and out because I tracked them, that API 2500 is now on my list of comps to try. That thing can decimate if you want it to. I, like you have hit the limit with pres and 2007 is also "year of the comp" for me as well. I will buy an optical/tube box of some sort and have narrowed it down to the following: Pendulum OCL-2, Electro Harmonix NY2A or the UA 2-LA-2A once it comes out and I can try it. True North, have fun trying out all of your new comp prospects and a merry x-mas back at you!

| I am trying out the P38 to see if that can give me any of that LA2A love. The Tube Tech MEC-1A has a CL1B'ish compressor in it. If the P38 work out than I won't have a need to check out any other optical compressors, save for the Purple MC77

  If I have an extra 6G's kicking around , maybe I will give this thing a try, I wonder if the lead times have improved at all
