I'd add the upcoming Toft and Studio Projects stuff to your short list, and knock the Aphex off it.

You really need to talk to a experienced working pro, like Fletcher, regarding this level of equipment IMHO. The website for Mercenary Audio is www.mercenary.com

I vote for 50 channels of Behringer if money is no object.

And an Audio Buddy.

That way you'll have plenty of spares.

Don't worry, you're not my type. If you are homophobic, I suggest staying away from the AudioBuddy.

John, that list is all over the place. Why don't you figure out you price range, whether you want transfomers or transformerless, one channel or two - and if you want to include A/D converters with the preamp.

What's your application? What type of music?

since chessrock is the only one who seems to be able to keep the post on topic, then i guess hes the only one who gets a response....
price range FOR ONE-- no more than $1400
application- pro tools
music- rap
a/d converters would be cool, if they were really good (like on the apogee)
as for one channel or two -- that wont really make or break it, but i guess when i get down to it, one is really all thats necessary, because ill just be recording one mic at a time.

hey, that just eliminated a few from the list. lol thanks man

I think it depends on what you are looking for as far as a sound.

But, if your price is under $1,400...

If you want color...

Then, I'd go: Great River ME-1NV or FMR RNP.

If you want clean...

Then I suggest you get a John Hardy, a Grace or an A Designs in no particular order.

For $1,400, you could get an FMR RNP plus another mic preamp such as the Grace or the A Designs.

Now let me get a few things straight here . . .

I'm not a homophobe . . .

I have no feelings or positions either way about a person's sexual preference, or lack thereof . . .


And I realize it's very juvenile to use the term "gay" inapropriately in context . . .

But honestly guys, this has got to be single gayest poll I've ever seen posted on this board. Let's make that the single gayest, most flamingly homoerotic THREAD I've ever seen on this board.


Now I realize, also, that I'm doing some serious trolling here, and I apologize for this in advance. But honestly, I'm contemplating the appropriateness of Cool John changing his handle to Gay John, and I'm going to post an even gayer poll than this one and ask you guys the following:

New nick for Cool John:

a) Gay John
b) Homo John
c) Super homo John
d) Super Gay Homo John

Sorry again for the Trolling, guys.
