Manley Vox Box?

[Haiku]

I'm investing in a top quality front end for my DAW and the name that comes up a lot is the Manley VoxBox. I'm told it has a very thick, rich, fat creamy sound which is also very hi-fi and clear (if that isn't a contradiction). I will be using it t record vocals, bass, guitars, keyboard .. pretty much anything that moves!

Any thoughts from people that have actually used it?

Whats your recording room look like? I would start there first. 'Good' equpiment is overrated.

This isn't a contradiction when you are talking about great gear. When you are talking about cheap crap, it is.

Not true! Good equipment will show you much more clearly the defciencies in your room as well as your abilities!

Exactly. In a great room with a great engineer, great gear will make a GREAT difference. In a crappy room with a no-talent engineer, it will just show how crappy your room and abilities are......
