AUDIO SAMPLES - API512c - SCA n72 - SCA C84 - TASCAM FW1884 - HCL A2

Hi,
I've been recording some audio samples of my studio preamps. Guitars are recorded with a mesa boogie triaxis, vht 292 power amp and Bogner V30's cab. Shure Beta57 is the mic used.

The pre's are the following and it sounds in that order:

API 512c
Seventh Circle Audio N72 - Neve 1272 Clon
Seventh Circle Audio C84 - Millenia Clon
Tascam FW1884 preamp
Hand Crafted Labs Affinity a2 - ukranian tube preamp.

In the first sample there is a mono guitar of a mythic guitar riff and each preamp sounds about 2 seconds. 24 bits and 44.1 KHz wav format.

MONO GUITAR

In the second sample the guitars are doubled.

DOUBLED GUITARS

What preamp do you like?

I like the 512C samples and the N72....

512C seems to def have more of a mid boost, almost more bite.

N72 seems slightly thinner but i sense more highs/clarity.

FWIW...

Nice test - thanks for sharing. I have a Tascam FW-1884 and am about to upgrade to a nice pre. I've been looking at all of those except the Millenia clone.
