I'm looking at investing in a quality mic-pre and have searched through some previous posts on the subject here at HR. I've looked at sites that offer "pro" caliber equipment (Brent Averill, Mercenary, etc.) and have also come across Mindprints latest offering the DTC I'll admit the only mic-pre I actually have experience using is Mindprint's Envoice (which seems to do a really fine job). Since I'm running a "home" set up (Sonar, Aardvark Q10) how much could I expect from a "pro" quality mic-pre? I'd like to achieve tracks with more "fatness", warmth and clarity. Will Neve, Calrec or Brent Averill equipment far outdistance the performance of a unit like the DTC? I know the DTC is a relatively new unit and has quite a few more features than a basic mic-pre but the price range is comparable with the "top of the line" mic-pre's. I've included the link to the DTC above so that folks might have a look at the unit and technical information. I was only able to find one review on the product and that was printed in Swedish or Dutch or something which I couldn't read. Any help or insight is appreciated...
