Hello everyone, I would like to have your opinion on these two mixes:

Both mixes use :

5 ULTRAMARINE4 (FairChild 670) (one on the master bus)
2 TITANIUM EQ (Tube-Tech PE 1C EQ)
RUBY2 DW Fearn VT-5 (on the master bus)

On one of the two mixes, all preamps are activated, but on the other, all preamps are deactivated.

There's a noticeable difference though... But I don't know which mix sounds better, I have a preference when all the preamps are activated, but the mix loses a bit of definition I think...

You can easily compare here!

(Sorry for the 5-second gap at the beginning...)

Option 2 with the preamps.
