API 3124 VS vintech 473
« on: July 13, 2005, 10:52:31 AM »

Hi....
I can get a good Deal on a Vintech Preamp 473. ( i'm recording drums ,pop and rock mostly) , so i was wonder if there a big difference between the API 3124 and the Vintech 473. or should i get the API 3124, i guess both are great Pre......i know that the API is great for drums, but is the Vintech is as good ????????

Any input will be appreciate

Thank you

Only you are gonna know what's gonna work for you. I'm an API guy but i have 6 Neve pres too. Why? Because they all have a special place in my rack.

I had a nice API Rack w/2 312's and 2 550's  a while back I sold for a 473 [one of the very first ones]without ever hearing it,based on the hype.I'll never do that again!
After direct comparisons with real Neve 1073's..The vintechs were a joke..Sounded neve like,but overall smaller and not as open in the hi's.
long since sold em'.Big dissapointment!

I'm looking forward to someday getting get another API rack together for remote drum stuff agian..They sound great and compliment the Neves real well on drums  ..love to mix and match. ..
