lmao @ jslator--whoops, lol glad you caught that....meant since DOT is the only one....lmao

chess -- exactly why is a poll asking which pre amps someone would recommend homosexual? id like to see how you can connect me saying "which pre amp should i get" to "i like men"

Cool John -- nobody is saying you're gay.





Oh wait, yes they are. :p

But seriously, these kinds of posts are really kinda dumb. Run a search on any of these units, and you'll learn a lot more than you will from this post. If you're really clever, you'll search the web for professional reviews.

If I want to be called gay, I'll start a thread called :

"Anybody tried Studio Projects?" or maybe "SP C1?" :rolleyes:


Keep in mind that probably none of us (with the possible exception of Harvey) have been in the same room with ALL these pre's, much less have enough experience with them to point you in the right direction. Many (most?) of the recommendations on this BBS are either from well meaning people who "heard somebody use it once," or (more likely) from people repeating the hype they've heard from others. And who knows if it's really true or accurate? A lot of it might have originated from marketing...


the above doesn't apply to me of course. I sleep with a Focusrite Red 7, a Manley Voxbox, an Avalon 737sp, and a Neve 1272 under my pillow. And I have all the other pre's you mentioned in my rack, too. I'm just too lazy to walk around my $100,000 console to turn them on... :D :D :D :D :rolleyes:
 
OMG!!!!!! RUNNING A SEARCH ON THESE UNITS NEVER OCCURED TO ME BEFORE!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME MAN!!! SO WHAT UNIT DO YOU SUGGEST, SINCE YOU HAVE AN OVERABUNDANCE OF KNOWLEDGE!!???!?!

OK OK OK -- THANKS FOR THE IDEA, DISPITE THE FACT ITS THE *FIRST* THING I TRIED, I KNOW YOU WERE TRYING TO HELP.

I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD ANY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES THAT WOULD MAKE THEM GO ONE WAY OR THE OTHER

EXAMPLE--- SOME PEOPLE LOVE BEHRINGER UNITS. SOME PEOPLE HATE THEM. SOME REVIEWS HAVE GOOD THINGS TO SAY, SOME HAVE BAD. BUT BECAUSE OF ONE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH ONE, I CAN ACTUALLY RECOMMEND SAYING "NO DONT BUY THE {INSERT ITEM HERE}

GRANTED, I REALIZE NOT EVERYONE WOULD HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH ANY OF THESE, BUT THEN I GUESS THIS ISNT THE THREAD FOR THEM IS IT??
 
Just incase you haven't noticed yet, no one likes it when people use all caps, anywhere, period.
 
I PERSONALLY LIKE IT

IM NOT YELLING, JUST TOO LAZY TO PRESS THE CAPS LOCK KEY

CARRY ON THEN.......

P.S. IM STILL CURIOUS AS TO HOW THIS THREAD IS HOMOSEXUAL, LMAO!
 
hey cooljohn...if you really want to know about these things, this is absolutely the last place to ask anyone.for one thing no one knows a goddamned thing about the subject....and they think since its all been asked about before they're way too busy to be generous with their time and help someone.so either way you lose......try gearslutz or recording .org....state your business and the range you want to spend and someone will really give you a reallife reading on the piece you're looking for.....good luck.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IF WE EVER MEET I WILL BUY YOU A HAPPY MEAL
 
i don't think you're gay (it's just fun to make fun), but come on the pres you suggested don't even compare to each other. it's like if i ask what's the best guitar...

* a pre-war martin 000-18
* an ovation (any model they all suck)
* a gibson jumbo j-45
* a ukelale
* a banjo
* a taylor 914
* a stratocastor
* an ibanez ice man
* you get the picture...

depends on the job and the budget.
 
I'm not sure about his sexuality actually, check one of his statements...

'I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD ANY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES THAT WOULD MAKE THEM GO ONE WAY OR THE OTHER'

Sorry, only messin!

Seriously, I think the suggestion of going for one 'coloured' and one 'clean' like the RNP and John Hardy makes a lot of sense or Great River and Grace?

I have not tried any of these pre's, but I don't think there is any doubt that they are all at least very good! The Grace is popular with Hip Hop guys I think?

lmao@ that.....

i think that idea would be a nice one, ill look into that.....thanks man
 
i do alot of hip-hop using the fmr audio rnp.

i demoed the 101 but i wanted a 2-channel pre so I can use it as a DI for my roland xv-3080 and ensoniq/emu asr-x.

so I went with the RNP.

I have never, ever, ever used or demoed any of the other pres. i'm saving up for a new house, so I can't afford them.
 
I'd go for the mini me if you don't already have high end A/D converseion...the combination of the pre and A/D conversion will be way more beneficial then just a great pre and shitty A/D Conversion
