Hi all, anyone out there have any experience of Universal audio preamps et el? Having been blown away with the UAD I looked into their preamps, they seem to be modelled on some great vintage design approaches.

More concisely, what are the pro'sand cons of the 2-620 vs. the 2108?

I'm mainly recording sax and want something to plug my U87 into, be nice to push some other sources through as well. I'm a big fan of the Rudy sound and some of the work that comes out of Avatar (Breacker and so forth). Does anyone who uses them regularly fancy penning a few thoughts on the matter. All the best, Holli.

Hi, I have a UA LA-610 which is the the 610 tube pre with a LA-2A style compressor. The pre works amazing on vocals (especially female) and bass guitar going staight in. As for an overall mic pre, your best bet is not a tube pre... I just sold my vintech 273 (NEVE copy) in order to buy the LA-610 and another non-tube pre, to avoid "build-up" (haven't decided which one yet, but most likely an API).
