Re: 1073's... Real deal or one of the many clones?
These look fun. https://www.audiomaintenance.com/acatalog/aml-17-038_extended_info.html I just pulled the trigger on a second 5003D (used) today - it's an older pre that was not a kit - but you'll notice that it looks pretty similar to that one... https://vintageking.com/aml-5003d looks like a pret...

I really should just buy a couple of these.

Real 1073s are so stupidly priced right now that I don't even look anymore. 12k for one channel? Eat me.

Re: 1073's... Real deal or one of the many clones?
We sold our vintage Fairchild 666 to a collector. It wasn't a very useful compressor. Kind of a one trick thing but we got so much dough for it we were able to get an Undertone UnFairchild 670 that works and sounds great and is much more of an asset to the studio plus we were able to pocket some ca...

And whatever happened to the 1272 love? Those were a big deal here before the stand alone 1073 came about. Granted, weren't the 1272 just buss amps changed into a pre amp? But there was a craze for a second.

Re: 1073's... Real deal or one of the many clones?
I'm not specifically talking "vintage" since Neve also makes current 1073 preamps. except then they are still just clones right? I mean even if Rupert did work there, or helped design it, or whatever, its still likely to differ as component choices and availability changed. And Neve is AMS, AMEK, R...

Re: 1073's... Real deal or one of the many clones?
So one question might be "what kind of shape are the originals in?". I wonder if it's like those old Silvertone amps, where the really desirable sound is when enough resistors have drifted in value. I love those old Silvertone amps. Have you seen that new pedal that supposedly does the sound? https...

Re: 1073's... Real deal or one of the many clones?
Very happy tracking with a bunch of 500 format Great Rivers into RND551 EQs, here. The GR's Loading switch plus four high-quality transformers in that combo definitely take you to a very familiar sonic place. I haven't had a chance to hear it next to a real-deal 1073, but I don't really miss that. ...

Because, yeah, vintage gear is a pain in the ass for upkeep. Agreed.

1073's... Real deal or one of the many clones?
Hey all. Besides a couple Hairball Coppers, I've yet to have a 1073 style preamp. One studio I track at has six of them and a pair of Great Rivers, which all get used every time. I don't feel I NEED one, but there has to be a reason why they're so popular and copied. Have we finally got to the point...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
I did order this: https://www.proaudiostar.com/audix-club-kit.html for $169+ tax, you get a D6, i5, OM2, mic clips, and an aluminum flight case (and from what I understand some other stuff too - coffee mug, t-shirt, etc) and that's all for less than what they want for just the D6 mic ($199). So eve...

Re: Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!
This might not be the most helpful post here — but just to make sure we get you feeling less gas-lit by your hardware.... You're NOT missing anything — the focusrite stuff sounds good, but their monitoring control panel is straight up garbage. I've used a lot of brands of I/O control panel before: ...

Re: Tracking bands without a console is a PITA!
I hear you. I've slowly been weaning myself off the console the past 5 years. A benefit of having a TDM rig for awhile and then an HD rig, I didn't have to worry about latency when going hybrid. I'm just now using a non-HD, native rig and still trying to get the muscle memory going on with having Fo...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
I don't have those particular modules but I do have a preamp from AML (or Audio Maintenance Ltd - in the UK) - I've the 5003D, which is not made anymore and it's fantastic sounding. It was prebuilt (and only sold that way). I've been tempted build some of the kits but don't have any more empty slot...
