Anyone got a real Neve 1073 or 1081 for sale.

Go thru the "group buy in" nIC - they are offering 1073, 1081 and 1084 clones that 'apparently' are the real deal..

Would you mind some more details for those of us not in the know?

Thanks Tim, but want to get a real neve, if not I'll get the closest which is a BAE 1073.

Julien,
I only have seen whats happening from this thread that was started the other day..

Follow the links to Prodigy - there is a major couple of threads happening about the buy in right now.
Ausrock and harry originally started the thread here @ TR but I hunted around and had a look myself. Quite a few people are involved here @ TR already as well..
Might be worth it, might not be too.. As Kris said, there's always Ebay to offload stuff..

That's a fair call nIC - but a clone Neve 1073 for 5% of the original BAE cost - gotta be worth a look... ;-)

Hi nIC,

I'm sure you know about Aurora Audio !

In a couple of shoot outs it has beat the BAE.

A jap magazine also did a shoot out(can't find it right now) of all the clones and the Aurora won there too.

(Just to confuse the issue ;-)

Hey NiC,

If you find one I'll happily bring over my BA1073 to do an A/B. Or, if you'd like to try mine let me know and I'll pop around.

Cheers

Here's another thread NYMO

Hey Nic, I've been scoping out 1073's for a while now. I have the Shep SN8, the pre sounds identical to a 1073 but the eq doesn't do the 12K chorusey thing that the originals do. I've pretty much come to the conclusion I'll have to buy from OS and have a broker in the US keeping an eye out for a pair. I will most likely end up buying the Neve reissue but will need a listen to the eq first. Good luck finding something decent locally. Figers crossed for ya.

Thanks China and everyone.
I ordered a BAE 1073, it's about half the price of a AMS 1073, same guts. Should be getting it in about 2 weeks.
