Great River vs. Pacifica?

Resonant Alien · 3rd February 2007

I see a lot of gushing about the Pacifica here, but not a lot about the GR MP-2NV. I did a search and found a few posts, but nothing compared to the amount of Pacifica posts. What is the general consenus around here on the GR?

i think the general consensus is that the Great River is a fantastic preamp.
part of the reason you don't hear as much about it now is that it is not brand-new.

FWIW Audio-Technica, when choosing a preamp to run their mics through for the demos on their site, chose the MP-2NV.
obviously they could have chosen anything.
they also used RADAR converters, which are thought to be top-of-the-line in many circles.

the consensus is that the Pacifica is a great preamp too, just different.
it is newer so there is more discussion regarding it.

cheers.
