do people here love this preamp as much as I'm reading around the
netterweb? I'm still building my room so don't even really know what it's going to sound like yet, but i have gear lust and can afford it. i'll probably get something like a saffire 56 to give me 10 channels total, or i'm still thinking about the presonus 16.4.2 board. i know they're very different. anyway, mainly wondering if anyone here has thoughts on the chandler... oh, main point is there's a local used one for under 2 grand and apparently it'll be worth at least that forever?? thoughts? thanks! |

I found it kind of heavy-handed.. it was a lot more coloration that I would like for most things, although I could see it being great for that particular sound. It's a copy of an EMI console front end and I can't imagine having to use that on every channel... but people did. If there's a local used one, see if you can borrow it for a weekend with a deposit and see how you like it. In general, I think all of this equipment is going to hold its value if it is well made and sounds good. It's not like MI store crap whose value drops in half the minute you leave the store with it. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Why would you ever want to sell something that's good? yeah, that's what i mean. i just maybe want something good and don't care about selling it later. but then when some gear depreciates worse than a new car off a lot and some gear will resell well in 20 years when my ears have fallen off... so i can't decide. but i think, for now, i'm might just start with my crap gear and see how good i can make it sound... but i will for sure be grabbing lots of really expensive cables! ;-) |

Resale cost should never be a reason to buy a product... but it is often a good reason NOT to buy a product. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
