probably going to get the FMR RNP/RNC combo, but was wondering if the
Eureka compares at all?

I've been using a Presonus Eureka for about a month now. I A/Bd it with
an Avalon 737SP and what can I say....it's 1/4 the price and almost
just as good results...well at least to my ears. The compressor is a
little weak, but there are a lot of knobs to play with and you can hear
a difference when you mess with all of them. The EQ is very nice even
though the highs tend to distort the sound when you put them up too
much. The preamp is high quality and the over all unit is quite
exceptional. I also like the classy look...VU meter..blue
lights....metalic design...very impressive. At around $499 for a brand
new one, you can't go wrong. The last time I checked, just the RNP was
going for about the same price and then you have to buy the RNC for
compression. I posted two really long messages just a month ago about
how I couldn't get that perfect sound....well the Eureka got me pretty
close to it. I run the Eureka into a Mackie 1202 VLZ mixer for a little
more gain and EQ and then into my computer with an m-audio interface.
Works great for me...if you're on a budget, try just the Mackie
1202VLZ...I used the preamp and eq for quite a while and it never let
me down...the Eureka just made it even better.
