| Yeah, it would be really interesting to know how these two units compare. Anyone even compared VD's rack pre's to MA5? |

| Haven't heard the MA5, but the M581 is one of the most colored preamp's I've heard in the 500 series format. Its pretty punchy for drums, and has a "roundish" top [transient wise] for vocals, and strings. Definitely nails the "N" vibe.

| I found the MA5 takes a few steps upward with great compressors, but i understand that a lot of pres can do the very same thing, still no help with the VD.
