Heritage Audio HA73 ELITE - Single Channel Mic Preamp | Sweetwater

Ive got clean covered but never done the "Neve" sound. Price looks tempting, in the not cheap but not $1000+..

 

[CoolCat]

or one of these?

 

[CoolCat]

how about this one?

hmmm 1/2 space, red and blue-gray knobs...

I have one of these - still on trial and I've never tried the others, but I like it so far, so it's probably going to stay.
Golden Age Pre-73 MKIII Mic/line Preamp | Sweetwater

(I actually have one with the Carnhill transformer "upgrade" - no idea what difference it makes but it was only $20 more on sale so I got it.)

 

[CoolCat]

alright!! .... another ..IN and OUT transformer gear

 

[CoolCat]

cant forget the cool blue one then...

 

[CoolCat]

well if we are going Neve design flavor with dual transformers and not requiring red and blue knobs....

this one is after the same tones...

this must be one of the most recommended of all preamps, (equal to the ISA One Focusrite being a favorite recommended pre's with its one transformer).

the more I read its the overdriving the output transformer that gets the "dirt" thats sought after in these pre's.

I suppose I need to get one and try it out. See if it is something my plug-in Neve cant do.
