I recorded two mono channels, each through a different preamp into the same

All things were as equal as I could make them, other than the preamps.
Can you detect a difference? Do you like one better?

Later, I'll disclose the premps.

One seems to give a little more twang off the higher strings than the other.
On my cruddy computer speakers at least ...

Different EQ on one of the versions perhaps?
Doh. I don't think the OP is as dumb.

Just pointing out that I'd attribute any audible
difference to mastering than to any difference among
preamps, or DACs, etc.
Only a ****wit would think of mastering tracks in any way whatsoever for
a mic preamp comparison.

It is to the DEGREE of difference(pre-amp vs pre-amp vs different masterings)
which I am referring. Understand now?
Just 2dB of top added to one of those recordings, or 1dB of mids scooped
out, and that's a bigger difference than the difference between two well made
pre-amps.
