hello. i was just wondering what mixers you guys consider to have the best preamps. the reason i ask, is that im looking to make a preamp sort of as just a project, and if i have a brand name, i could look around online for a schematic. i have learned from these forums that behringer pres are particularly bad, so ive at least gotten that far. what do you guys think of soundcraft, mackie, carvin, etc? those are the brands that immediatly come to mind, but i am absolutely positive i missed a few good ones. thanks in advance.
