Ok, I was wondering if anyone could give some input as to which of the following I should get from each piece of equipment. some of them are more expensive, so please let me know if you think the extra bucks is worth it. Thanks everyone!

=== Compressor ===
1) Behringer MDX4600 Multicom PRO-XL - $130
2) DBX 266XL Compressor/Gate - $150
3) DBX 166XL Dual Compressor/Limiter - $250


=== Headphone Amps ===
1) Behringer HA4700 Powerplay Pro - $100
2) Presonus HP4 Discrete 4-channel - $100
3) Behringer Powerplay Pro-8 HA-8000 - $130



=== Direct Input Boxes ===
1) Behringer DI4000 Ultra-DI Pro - $100
2) BBE DI-100X Active - $150
3) BBE DI-1000 Active/Passive - $250


That's all for now. please let me know if you have any advice on these. Also, if you know of a product around the price range that you think is better please let me know! Thanks a ton.

Yo Casey at Bat:

Since most everyone has a "favorite" item or two in their studios, I suggest that you take a trip to a major vendor and listen to pieces of gear that interest you.

It would be worth a trip since you are buying a few items.
