I use a sytek and I think it is fairly decent. Pretty much coloress and quiet. It also seems to react really well with transients and find it useful for preserving the sound of sticks hitting drums, pick hitting acoustic guitar strings, i.e it is great if you want to keep transients clear and present. I also find it nice for preserving accurate room sounds. It does have clean quiet gain when used in conjunctionn with ribbons although I have other preamps that can have their impedance levels switched which seem to work better with ribbons, I won't hesitate to reach for the sytek however. I also think it's great each channel has mute and phase switches. I think it's a good pre at around $200 a channel although you could buy one really decent channel for the around the same price.
