Hi!
I noticed your question about EMI limiters. I don't have any and i have only tried Chandler copy of TG1 (which is bad imo). But i just started to collect material to build (i'm doing lots of diy) TG1. When it's done i can send you some recorded material, i think it will not take more than 2-3 months to finish it..
Since i like EMI, i built their Redd47 mic pres which are really really good. Try them if you can, i don't think they are hard to find since transformers became available.
Btw, if you are searching info about EMI comps or any other gear they made contact this guy:

He is specialized in vintage gear and had some EMI consoles on sale (still have one).
If you find any samples between EMI tube&transistor comp or maybe want to talk about EMI, contact me at
