I can speak for the True Systems Precision 8. I've had
two since I first bout Paris. They are tons of gain, quiet
and pristine sounding. I bought them as a cost effective
Grace solution ($2,600/per in 1999). I've always loved their
sound but go to the Neves, Teles for character. One channel
has a phantom power problem and I've heard there's a flaw
in the design to cause this. Other than that, these babies are
all that I hoped for. Sometimes when recording hard hitters,
they are too hot at the output and it forces me to throw a quality=20
comp on the back side to lower its level when recording drums.=20
8 great pres for relatively short money, great metering and built
in M/S encoding. Cool product that seems to have become a=20
staple pre.

If I had to buy one quality utility pre it would probably be=20
the True 8. However, if I had nothing but cash falling out=20
of my jeans, I would most likely go for 2 - RED 1 instead.=20
The again, 8 Liquid channels would be nice too... ;-)
