Golden Age Pre 73 mic pre a Neve clone

Got a pair of these today and for the money they really deliver on the vintage sound. I don't have an original Neve 1073 to compare it to but I feel like I "know" what that sound is from hearing in them in past. The GAP 73 is very much in that ballpark.

I used them with a stereo Neumann array to record a live blues band. Really gives the Neamann's that gritty, funky vibe, yet somehow has great clarity. Amazing sound for the very reasonable price.

Nice! I wish I had the real estate/cash for some analog gear.

I'd be interested to hear the recording, if it's up for release.
