What's better: Tampa or Brick?

[antispatula]

I want either one of them, and was wondering which one you think sounds better.

And more importantly, is it worth it? I've heard you can't hear much of a diff between pres if they don't cost loads of money. Will there be a good diff between a lets say art tube v3 or whatever and a brick?

Hey Kenny could you tell me does that pre have unbalanced out?
The reason being is I run a recorder that has all unbalanced inputs.
Also do you know which opamp is in that unit?
Also have you listened to it compared to a dmp3?

Thanks

Burr Brown chip, balanced ins and outs, sounds very, very clean. It's just a nice preamp, no hype, no crap.
