Ok, for those of you who have forgotten to buy yourself a christmas present I've got the perfect option for you.

A freshly racked pair of Neve 51 Channel strips. These had the final spit and polish put on them this morning and are currently soak testing in the corner of the workshop.
These are the "short" version channel strips. Thus they have no limiter module and only a two band EQ. What you do get is a mic pre with -10 to 90dB of gain, a line input, sweepable HP and LP filters, a two band sweepable EQ with bass peak or shelving response. A quad eight ( Jensen ) output transformer has been added to balanced the output, plus a +/- 10dB output trim control and mute control added. The modules have been fully re-capped, switches cleaned, pots cleaned. The mains transfomer is in an external box that connects via a 1.8m cable.
Specs : noise floor better than -77dBu, max output level +27dBu, response -1dB at 90kHz( line in ) 45kHz (mic in ), distortion 0.008%

$2,400 with the usual proharmonic lifetime warranty on the racking

I've got a pair of the fuller featured channel strips racked up by Rob and they are killer as I'm sure these are. Eq is cool and can be gentle or drastic and the mic pre sounds great...

ok, so you ran out of christmas present cash, but surely your auntie popped couple of golden drinking vouchers in with the card so you could get yourself something nice?

...... sorry Rob, i'm spending my spare cash on my boat.
