I'm very happy with the Sytek I have, and it doesn't have any of the Burr-Brown
channels. I think it _is_ pretty much straight wire with gain, but it's that
kind of pre done right. It seems to marry up with almost any mic, so I tend
to choose it when I want a fast preamp. So when I want lots of the transient
of the source, meaning drum overheads, acoustic geetars, percussion (tambourines
and triangles seem to like the Sytek a lot), sometimes snare drum. I haven't
tracked any significant vocals since I got it, but it will be interesting
if and in what cases I prefer it to the DVC.
Anyway, a damn fine preamp for less than $200 per channel. Unlike a lot of
pres in that price range I have no problem plugging the fanciest mic I can
beg, borrow, or rent into it.
