Now sorted. WTB: Microphone Preamps.

octatonic

I am looking for any pro level microphone preamps that might be for sale.

For example these but not limited to: API 512, Neve 1073, Phoenix DRS1R, Burl B1, Grace M501, BAE, RND, Focusrite ISA or RED etc.
Basically anything that is either 500 series or a discrete box with an internal power supply- nothing wall warty and not interested in Warm Audio or Golden Age products.
Hit me up.

I have a Focusrite Green 3 channel strip, and a Focusrite Platinum Voicemaster.  I don't use these any more, so if of interest please let me know.  I used the Green 3 with a Neumann TLM103 and the Voicemaster with a Rode NT-2.  I still have the microphones also, and am not using them, so they would also be available if anybody is interested?

Thanks but I’m looking for a Red 7, ISA 110 kind of thing rather than platinum or green Focusrite.

Bad experiences with Warm Audio's stuff? I've been tempted lately by the WA273.

I'm sure they are good for the money but I'd learned from experience to get the good stuff, rather than the cheaper version of the good stuff.

Have a couple of 1073's incoming so all sorted for now.
Cheers.

You could've got this for a hundred quid

Have that already.

I like the UA 1073 but there is a difference between the plugin and a £2k piece of hardware.

Thanks, I'll bear it in mind.
Any idea of price?

Just a word - the DAV Electronics Broadhurst Gardens preamps are really nice and competitively priced, UK made by a former Decca engineer. I just fired up one I bought last year and it is lovely and quiet.

I had a couple ages ago in 500 series format.
Nice preamps for the cost- I used them on OH's for non-rock music and on acoustic guitar.
I replaced them with a pair of Grace 501's.
