Ok guys now that we are on the topic of 500 series pre's I'll let you in
on my problem. I gots me a 400.00 Gift Certificate to Mercenary Audio from
my wife and I can't decide what to buy!
I was leaning on a Purple MC77 or a distressor or a 1968 ME for mix bus.
Or I could get a pair of 512's or a Tab V78!

But now I am also considering a pair of Josepehson C42's but of course there
is the Gefell M900 which may be great on AG.

I know you don;t know what all my gear, but what out of this list would you
want?
Is the UAD 1176 close enough that I don't need the MC77?

A D12 or D20 is still in my future too.

Muhahahahah!!!!!..........no matter what you buy, you will need two of them.
Personally, I think you should get something with Cranesong splashed across
it.or maybe Fearn.

suffer dude........you've entered Mercenary territory and there's too much
to choose from.

The answer is simple:
1. Buy the Josephsons
2. Bring them over to record piano
3. Forget to take them when you leave and then mysteriously disappear..

Cuj, I'd ask "what do you need MOST" that would compliment what
you have or fill in a gap somewhere?

You mentioned a Distressor as a possibility - if you don't have
one of these already, I'd say that's a safe bet to go with, as
I feel it's one of the most useful & versatile compressors you
could ever buy.

But really it all comes down to what you need... do you need
dynamics? Or would another mic or different coloration of mic
pre better serve your purposes at this time?

Or Phil, you could bring yer piano over, record leave it and all your talent
for me,
I was thinking Joesephson's a month or so ago, but have heard so so things
about them I guess the e22 is way better.

How was the show last night? I was still recovering from my Friday night
gig.
