Pre Choice

[shAkEz_gk]

Let's say you had $4,000 to purchase at least 2 pre-amps.
The genre of recorded vocals, and vocals only will be rap, and r&b.

What would you choose?

oops, blew the budget

The Phoenix DRS stuff is incredible. The new ADL600 is a big open pre that kills. I don't think you need to blow $4,000 on a preamp but to each their own.
