If I had money for 8 channels right now, I'd be looking at the True
Systems Precision 8 for clean, and maybe the UA 8110 Precision 8
monster with the tubes (and the cool blue lights...) for the more
old-school "phat" thing...
And yeah, they're both named "Precision" -- possibly because great
marketers think alike...
-- buy one, and tell us how cool it is -- Chas.

Yeah, I've had my eye on the "True" box for a while, for a go-anywhere
laptop rig I'm thinking about putting together. If you look on their
site and see who's using their stuff -- kind of convincing...
Maybe they'd send you one for a test-drive...
Keep us posted -- Chas.

I love my Precision 8s. Transparent, plenty of noiseless gain
even for ribbons. Almost too much gain for drums.
Might want/need a comp in line to lower it's output into Paris
if you want to push the levels up at the pre.
Built well although I have one channel who's phantom
is fried. It may have been on while patching (big no no).
I heard this might be a flaw in the design. It's a drag
that the line ins are in the same jack as the mic input.
I have to crawl in back to swap them out from time to time.
They sound great though. I bought two and use them all the
time. Big smile on everyone's face even when compared to Neve's.
More clarity, less edge/iron.

Hey Tom -- thanks for that perspective... That unit is still first on
my list if I get around to putting my little "go anywhere" laptop rig
together... Want to run that with the RME Fireface box -- whole bunch
of channels available for whatever one might encounter in live
situations, and the True box has (I think) an extra set of balanced
outs -- to give back to the live sound guy, I figure -- bound to be
better pre's than most anything they'd usually have...
And of course -- would be nice to have those channels available in the
studio when not doing remote stuff...
thanks again -- Chas.

Hey Tom -- thanks for that perspective... That unit is still first on
my list if I get around to putting my little "go anywhere" laptop rig
together... Want to run that with the RME Fireface box -- whole bunch
of channels available for whatever one might encounter in live
situations, and the True box has (I think) an extra set of balanced
outs -- to give back to the live sound guy, I figure -- bound to be
better pre's than most anything they'd usually have...
And of course -- would be nice to have those channels available in the
studio when not doing remote stuff...
thanks again -- Chas.
