If you “want one because you can” and “$3.k is a lousy amount of money to you” than buy vintage neves. This way you don’t have to wonder if they’re as good or how close they are to an original, they are the original!
I got,
12 vintage Neves
18 vintage api 312’s
2 vintage Calrec 1161’s
2 vintage Telefunken V72’s
I got my modules for less then half of what people ask now. And they’re up to spec no Frankensteins, no issues, have all their original serial/model tags, original transformers, opamps, cards, etc.
Just make sure the modules you buy are NOT converted from some other part of the desk claiming to be a 1073, 1066, 1084, etc.. when they’re really just some aux module Frankensteind together with a new faceplate and fu$ked up wannabe hacked looming job that’s some ass clown slapped together. Because at that point you are way better off with a Pair of BAE 1084’s.
My neves were made by Neve, the original Rupert Neve.
$3.k is a lot of money to me.
