In this BLIND 1073-style preamp shooutout video, we put the Warm Audio WA273-EQ, the Vintech X73i, the BAE 1073, and the Great River MP-2NV up against each other on acoustic guitar & male vocals. Can you tell which is which? FOR THE RESULTS AND A COPY OF THE HIGH RES AUDIO FILES:(without YouTube compression), give us a call at (919) 682-5552 or email us at proaudio(at)soundpure.com.

The Vintech X73i (Neve 1073) Replica is compared side-by-side an original pair of Vintage Neve 1073's in a scientific mic preamp shootout at Sound Pure recording studios.  For the shootout, The Sound Pure Steinway Concert grand piano was recorded using a matched pair of Peluso P12 Tube microphones (Vintage Clones of the AKG C12 microphone) spaced across the piano's strings.  Each microphones' output was split, one to the Neve and one to the Vintech X73i.  Volume output at identical levels was tested by verifying virtually complete phase cancellation between the two signals when summed together (with one preamp set to phase reverse).  The Vintage clone Vintech X73i blew the minds of the engineers at Sound Pure studios, as the differences between the Vintech and the Neve were imperceptible.  After the listening, the Sound Pure engineers discuss their impressions of the sounds that they were hearing through the studio monitors in the Sound Pure control room.  Sound Pure is a proud seller of Vintech products, and can be reached to answer any questions about the mic pre shootout, or if you'd like the high res audio files for your own listening.  Sound Pure can be reached toll free at 888-528-9703.

The Vintech 273 is an amazing replica of the preamps found in the original Neve 1073 modules. Both channels also offer input sensitivity adjustment allowing up to 70db of gain, an input impedance switch (300 Ohms or 1.2 kOhms), a mic-line switch, an instrument input and switches for phantom power, phase reverse and eq on or off.

The new "500" series of Vintech Microphone Preamplifiers, presents a modern take on the classic Neve 1073 module, and in this video we are focusing on the Vintech 573 Model used in our "OAK" sessions. SoundPure's own Pro Audio Expert Doug Wessling details the functions, and utility of these stellar preamp's, with special attention to how we used them to track a full drum kit during our session. A transformer balanced microphone preamp, the Vintech 573 provides all discrete high impedance D.I., that passes through the input transformer. If you are interested in the individual drum track, or any other Hi-Res audio files featured in this or any of our other videos, please email preamps@soundpure.com for any questions about the recording chain or anything else you would like to know. You can also call us here at SoundPure, and speak to any of our experts to see how we can provide the perfect combination for whatever setup you are working with. 919-682.5552. or 888.528.9703.

A blind shootout video between a Rupert Neve Vintage 1073 mic preamp, and Vintech Audio's 573 clone - a 500-series style of module preamp. This is similar to our first shootout video featuring a Vintage Neve 1073 vs. Vintech x73i, this shootout demonstrates how to match the levels (using phase cancellation) during the setup of the shootout, and then conducting a shootout blindly. Instead of featuring Sound Pure's Steinway Concert Grand model B, we feature a short acoustic guitar passage. If you want to listen to the hi res audio files of this shootout, email us at preamps@soundpure.com and we will be happy to send them to you for a closer listen, we would be more than happy to send you the results as well. Perhaps it's best to request the results after you hear the high resolution files- the best way to compare to preamps is by comparing them blindly.

The Starlight Nylon is a Thin Body Electric Acoustic Classical Guitar. Starting with a one piece body of Swamp Ash or Honduras Mahogany a sound chamber is created by hollowing out the inside of the body. The sound chamber helps produce some acoustic tone unplugged which allows the player to hear the guitar in practice situations or other settings where plugging in is undesirable and adds a more natural tone when plugged in. Perfect for large band applications or any setting where more volume is needed. This guitar is available for SoundPure's Try-Before-You-Buy Program, so if you want to hear how it sounds with your gear, shoot us an email at Acoustics@SoundPure.com, or call us anytime at 919.682.5552.

The Sonorus Instrument Cable from Vovox is not only the new industry standard for professional recording, but also the entire reason you would have a discussion about what makes one instrument cable different or better than any other.  Using the latest conductor technology, the Sonorus Cable from Vovox raises the bar for high-quality audio production. Flawless design, impeccable quality and a sharp look, are just a few of the items on the list of great things about these stellar cables. Available in varying lengths, Vovox is now offering Sonorus Patch Cables as well, so you can control the quality of your sound at every input. Rarely has there been a reason to suggest the use of a specific cable to  provide such an elevated level of quality, which the Sonorus Cable offers, and which separates it from the pack. We compared a simple chord progression on the guitar, played by SoundPure's own Guitar Expert Ross, using both a standard guitar cable and a Vovox Sonorus Cable, to exemplify the difference in quality that Vovox offers. For the Hi-Res audio files, or any questions about any of the gear used in this video, please don't hesitate to call or email us here at SoundPure. Ross@SoundPure.com, (919)-682-5552.  

The new MF-104M Analog Delay Pedal from Moog is more than just an attempt to revisit the now discontinued MF-104 line of Analog Delay Pedals, it is an answer to our prayers, a revelation. Not only does it provide all the same utility of it's predecessors, but takes into account everything that was missing or desired from its' devoted loyalists. 800 MS of Analog Delay, a new 6 Waveshape LFO, complete MIDI control, amazing new capabilities with a Tap Tempo function and the amazing new Spillover Mode all round out this incredible achievement in audio engineering. With the pedal set to Spillover, you can control whether your delay trails continue after bypassing the delay or come to a stop, all completely on the fly. Not to mention, it's all Moog Analog Delay, the best of the best, smother than smooth, beyond comparison to any other analog delay out there. These pedals even utilize the same vintage "Bucket Brigade" chips that were so few in number in the past. CV/Expression Pedal inputs on the rear panel provide hands free control and manipulation of Time, Rate, Feedback, Amount, and Mix. As is the case with all Moogerfoogers, you can connect Moog EP2 expression pedals to any of these CV/Expression inputs to control functions, or connect other Moog Pedals and create entirely new sonic landscapes. The Feedback Insert also provides further utility, if you want to patch in other stomp boxes or outboard effects onto the same line as the delay, opening up even more flexibility with whatever you want to create. This amazing Analog Delay Pedal from Moog will only be available for a short time, don't miss out on your chance to own a piece of Analog history!
