[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 34679, member: 126"] Re: Analog Baby!!! Paul Wolff certainly knows how to make preamps but I find the general ASSumption that console preamps are automatically inferior lacking in substance. I am not a fanboy for Midas but most premium console preamps are approaching near optimal linearity/accuracy. There just isn't that much room for improvement beyond that, unless you consider adding coloration and unconventional input terminations an improvement (note: not a specific comment about tonelux, I have no idea what he is doing under the hood.). I'd spend the extra money on better microphones unless the talent is locked into some endorsement deal and can't use better mics. :-( But I understand the feel good psychological aspect of using external preamps. and making the talent feel good is a part of it.
