That's like saying 'What cars should I have in my driveway' without knowing what style of car you like, how fast you like to drive and how many people you want to carry. That said, the quality stuff usually has this logo on it: (this is just a partial list) API Neve Daking Avalon Chandler Vintech Great River and the list goes on... |

I believe it was J. Paul Getty who was asked; "How much money does it take to satisfy a man?" to which he replied; "Just a little more."

Who's being mean? I don't understand...  "Absolute Must-Have" ... I've never heard of them. Who makes them? Are they the best?? Anybody got a link? |

the "rather should-haves" are a bit pricy, but definitly better than the "absolute must-haves".. Giv´em a try, especially to the broke series, terrific brilliance and long-time value! Hihi Ruphus

I prefer the "No Brainer" or the "Bang for the Buck". Usually good deals on those |

Langevin AM16s (not the new bought the the name variety) Re furbished or newly made RCA or ALTEC designs with stackable pads and phase invert, anything new that sounds good and doesn't cost your left nut (millennia HV-3D8) 8/3750=470 a channel. Some guys are just tres droll (or is it cul). Anyway, pres without mics. or an ear to guess where to put them ain't worth much anywhere except e-bay so you better start asking some more kwestshuns.

I like to divide things into two groups. Can we agree that it would be nice to have something on the fat side, Neve like. And it would be nice to have something on the clean side, APIish, to catch the transients. I am looking for a partner to my 1272. A Hardy is one candidate. But what about that Pendulum? Any others? Oh yeah, an another side topic. Shouldn't you get preamps in pairs so you'll always have the option of stereo? |
