hey all
shopping for a high end voice channel, with a pre and a comp (eq optional). we've got all the usual suspects on the list (UA, Avalon, Millennia, Pendulum etc etc)... but since i'm a bit out of touch with tracking toys, have we missed anything obvious, or not-so-obvious? i want to consider all the options before we plonk down the cash.
so if money was no object, what else should i be looking at? the brief is for a super classy, go-to pre with serious 'wow' factor. leaning towards character over clean (we've got 64 channels of 'clean').
come on, help me spend the boss's money ;-)

I'd get a V72 modified by gunter. hands down the best pre i've ever heard. thick and glassy, crystal clear but warm and charming.
my favourite acoustic guitar combination now is C42 into a V72. favourite vocal combination is U47 -> V72 -> SSL comp.
can't believe what it does to acoustic guitar and vocals. worth every cent.

Does it have to be a channel strip.
A Great River NV1 is a nice pre.
Add to that nice outbaord comp and off you go.
Or buy a Neve 1073,1084 or 1081 classic pre/eq.
Or one of the clones or the new reissues.
Or the new Rupert Neve pre?
Or a Groove tubes Vipre?
Others to think off in channel strips not mentioned.
Would be the Buzz Audio channelstrip.
