what's your preamp of choice then?

I got mine and tested it, used it a lot thought it was nice, but when my friend took it and I had to use my other pres I started miss it badly. Will buy more channels asap

Quantz, I was referring to size. I think the 2 mp is about 4 or 5 inches long. When the identical circuits are configured into an eight channel unit that unit will fit into the standard rack slot.

jacktadoussac,

thanks for the clarification, and looking forward to the samples when, and if, you get a chance.

best,
quantz

Well, I have a GR M1nv which I also don't "LOVE," but like better than the DAV. My favorite right now is a custom two channel Ward-Beck 470D (I think...) that Dave Thomas racked for me in Canada. In my humble opinion, much better than the DAV and the GR!!!

I have been doing a lot of thinking about my next purchase and line audio is one of those. Onyx being also an option...
