I am recording with a Yammy AW4416. I am unimpressed with their preamps --
too clinical for my taste. I'd like a good warm preamp to make up for it..

You really do want to audition an FMR RNP. I'd go so far as to say just
get it and learn from using it. It will take excellent care of you, and
it's also a good instrument DI.
