one side note is that, it is my feeling, that I dont think a lot of people
share, that you really need more mics than mic pre's. Part of this feeling
comes from the fact that most of the recorded work I like was made through the
same mic pre's from the smae console. So i just look for something i like in
general and maybe one other thing that works better with certain kinds of mics.
I more concerned about the output and loading issues for the micrphones than
whether it's tube or solid state.

There's a lot of great gear out there, but if it's so wonderful I wonder where
all the good sounding records are. It just shows it's not the gear, and I'm not
taking a swipe at anyone in particular, but rather noting that it seems this
industry is way too wrapped up in what they think they need to own to make a
good recording.
