Big List of <$1000 Pre Amps

"Significantly?" Probably not.

Noticeably? Yea, I'd say so.

Worth spending your time worrying about? Too much time on your hands. Get recording.



See above statement regarding "too much time on your hands - get recording."

Too much time on my hands, yeah...lately. Worrying about it? Hm, no. Just curious.

Edit: Oh, and I was meaning compared to the Rane MS1b, not the sytek.

It's all just minor variations of the same basic thing.

You got a mic. It needs gain in order to get the signal up.

You got a mic pre. It has a knob on it that says "gain." You turn it clockwise and it gets louder ... you record, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Sound Devices MixPre sells at $665 new. Two channels, and is a portable, battery-powered field mixer. Sounds very similar to my GR ME-1NV when the GR is operated for cleanest possible tone. Lundahl input transformers, high quality circuitry throughout and built like a brick.
