I too own a C414 buls, and am thinking of seriously purchasing a channel strip to go with my 2488 neo. The main reason that I want to purchase the LA 610 is for my Lawson MP 47 tube mike, with the 414 seondary. It already sounds great but the on board compressor and the pre on my unit in my opinion isn't quite up to par. I am reading a lot about the LA 610 being paired up with the TLM03 and condensors of that sort, but not enough of being paired with high end tube condensers. Since my budget is in the La 610 range, can anyone out there offer some opinions or suggestions for my future purchase? I can actually get a very good price on the La unit, but it's still a lot of dough for a hobby and want to make a sensible choice.
Thanks
