It's good. But I'd rather use an Avalon for speak, and a Tube-Tech for singing and Instruments.. But it's good.

I love all the UA pre's

I use plugins extensively, every day. But what I used to spend on outboard nowadays I do spend in preamps. You can replace a compressor or an eq with a good emulation, but you can't regenerate what you didn't capture in the first place. A first grade pre is a terrific weapon. I have an avalon 737 and a bunch of api 512. The 610 is next on the list. Some of my mid price mics sound like 2000 bucks coming through the pre's. Definitely worth it.

if you ever try to build a mic pre ... you'll realize that the component aren't this cheap ...

Nice bit of gear, and totally worth the bucks. Anyone slagging off this pre is obviously someone with little experience. If you get to this level of pre, then it's all about what your own ears like. People who can't hear the difference should stick with their Joe Meek and get a real job. I suppose the LA2A was a piece of crap too

@eerereps

Please explain how digitizing the final mix effects the original source of the preamp?

@eerereps

A better result from a $200 pre?? You should upload a demo of your world famous $200 pre. Then we can all insult your intelligence together. I suppose you think a Telefunken V76 is just 60's garbage as well. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Peace.

@AlexRoody its only about $1500 ... for this caliber of a piece of gear thats a pretty darn good price.
