Years back, I borrowed a friend's original SMP-2 for my amateur home solo recordings on my Steinway D.

The Forssell and the Fearn VT2 had the most open, sweet and musical sound out of the many pres I tried.

I lost the desire to record at home - these days I prefer to leave that to the Pro engineers , my time is better spent practicing and writing - but "that" sound is itched in my mind.

What's your vocal choice(s) preamp nowadays?

If you are interested, I have just posted some sound examples of the new Acousence mic pre vs. Pueblo and NPNG here: Gordon vs. Pueblo (vs. Forssell, Pendulum, NPNG, Audio Upgrades...).

I have also compared the Gordon with NPNG and Pueblo, and maybe others. You can find many samples of mic pre comparisons in my big mic pre comparison thread: Gordon vs. Pueblo (vs. Forssell, Pendulum, NPNG, Audio Upgrades...).

I will soon compare the Fearn and some other new mic pres I've bought to Acousence, Pueblo etc., and post the results in the mic pre thread mentioned above.

I bought one from Ivo. Rack format. It's one of the best pre-amp ever made. It's quite "uncoloured" machine.
But It's have guts and mojo too! Super if you record piano, vocal, acoustic, anything, and want to start more processing( if needed), from pure table
Forssell is audio history.

Firewall preamp
Is there significant different between the 500 series and rack preamps? I have the 500 and love them, always wondered about the rack

Rack version is always a bit more sophisticated (independent power supply and other circuits etc.)

I’ve had both, but currently have the rack. Both are awesome and sound great. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. They’ve been my go-to for years for acoustic instruments, both the 500 and 19” rack versions.
