Value For Money :
Excellent
I bought a kit: not a big DIY experience, but frankly in a day is mounted, calibrated! Ultra kit well done!
UTILIZATION
can not be easier to use!
SOUND QUALITY
Okay well I did a little test in the studio yesterday with a U87 on a voice, and with a low Sun: ben c really good!
I compared it to an Avalon 737, an Empirical Labs Mike-E and another DIY Classic VP 26 (clone Api 312 70's)!
Clearly we are in the same court, the great! Well this is a serious and wide, but extended treble apps, a medium a little hair back, which gives the musical side, and smooth. Attention transients are very frank (low active Fender U.S. bartolini) and nickel spring slap, and the game becomes more rounded fingers in comparison with the 737 and the Mike-e!
In any case, five pairs of ears demonstrated the difference is so subtle it is, and for 340 € and qques relaxing hours welding and bin it was worth the money! Thank you Jean Pierre at Sound Skupltor for this kit ultra cool!
Incidentally, in the VP26 of Classic Audio Product of Illinois, this is a killer: it is clearly apparent that the lot in terms of sonic signature: a 312 what? Transient ultra frank, a medium in your face but not aggressive, low but this tight, short g forward to it back in on elec gtrs and drum!
OVERALL OPINION
not yet been extensively tested in bcp sessions, but one thing is certain, c I will not have any trouble aligning with the tenors of genre or original Neve 1073!
Unbeatable value for money, because they are quality components (transformers Carnhill UK) and although for the price you can get a Golden Age Project pre73 Mk2 mounted works of hell (and I advise anyone who wants a preamp in style 1073), it is "made in china", and I say this without bitterness, because then you can access the gear quality sound obvious, but this is made in France and Home Assembled!
Still, for 200 € more (if you're not hot solder!) You can buy mp573 assembled, and I assure you that this is an excellent purchase!
