Hello all,
I have put together a vinyl mastering suite based around a Neumann VMS-70/SAL-74b/SX-74/Sp-75 combo. I am looking for some essential outboard gear. I have located a used Peavy VC/L-2 tube compressor/limiter (elop style with EL84 tube) but cannot "try before I buy" it. These are well regarded, it seems, as being a killer deal. Has anyone upgraded/modified one of these to "mastering" grade? Or even used one for program compression?
I would love any and all suggestions that will help me avoid dropping the big dollars on a Manley, DW fearn, etc. etc.
Cheers,
Erik
