but price....Too expensive for my budget.

I agree... I've got two 101's and they seem to have a slight
bump in the upper mids, but not very much... they're extremely
clean, like Rick says. They're great pre's for certain things,
but they won't sound anything like the Neve-ish-ness of the
Avrill's.
What about a Vintech? I've never used one, but I've not heard
anything bad about them & they come in price points much lower
than the Avrill's that I've seen. Another alternative might be
the single-channel Great River (if you just need one channel);
price point is about a grand, so it's a little more than the
101's, but not double it, either. The GR's are are Neve-ish
designs, but cleaner/less "wooliness".

Mike Grace is a good friend of mine and makes a
killer, ultraclean pre...hard to beat if you are
looking for that. I would second the Vintechs...I
have X73's and love them...
