Hey Guys,
I recently came into a couple Burr Brown OPA2604's and decided I would drop a couple into one of my Green Pre's and A/B it against the NE5532.
The 2 pres in questions are V1 of the Green Pre's and don't have a Low Cut filter like the newer boards so I applied one in Pro Tools at 80Hz to take some of the bottom off as these pres tend to show the bass boom quite a bit.
It is in NO way a scientific test it was me just mucking about in my office with the PC tower whirling away and traffic which adds to the 'nice' ambient noise, but the results are interesting none the less.
I know it is not definitive and probably totally irrelevant as an A/B but it's interesting anyways. I'll reserve comment for now, but would love to hear your thoughts.
The mic was Violet Designs Black Knight, into the Green Pre into a 002R tracked to Pro Tools.
