I recently had death in my family, as one of my Presonus Eureka's died. The Eureka's are single channel mic preamps with Compression and EQ built in. I've had two Eureka's for quite a while in my home studio. Well, in it's place I went and purchased a Warm Audio WA73-EQ, which is a clone of a Neve 1073 Preamp. I love the way this sounds and the impact the EQ has on the preamp is amazing. In addition, I like the tone button which changes the impedance for the mic between 300 and 1200 which gives a very sound a nice sound. This Preamp is simply beautiful.
