I think A and D sounded best, E is high quality but not too exciting. B was definitely the worst.
Cool shootout, thnx!

They all sound good, I can at least say that.
The only one that I can honestly say that I like noticably less than any of the others is B. It seems to be missing a little something that the others have in the midrange, but it still sounds good.
I think I'm liking C the best because it seems the punchiest somehow. It's a tough call between c and e for me. I'm trying hard to pick out what is different in the midrange, but I keep second guessing myself. I think I like C the best.
D seems to be a little tubbier than the others, which I don't like right off.
Ok, now what you've all been waiting for..... what clip was what pre. I wanted to wait a day or two before posting this because I didn't want preconceptions & prejudices getting in the way. So here's the results:
A: Vintech Dual 72
B: Ward Beck m480c
C: Great River Mp2Nv
D: RME Fireface stock preamp
E: Api 512c
Hey, that makes me pretty happy about my ears, considering I was on some PC speakers.
Out of curiosity, OZ, which of those pres do you prefer in this instance?
The Great River sounds like it has the best overall tone for midrange in my opinion (key for guitars), but I must say that I am impressed with the Fireface stock pre. much better than the 002 pre LOL!
