A Designs Pacifica stereo studio mic preamp, only used in home studio, LN
If you're looking for a preamp with the depth of a Neve, the clear midrange of API, and the top end of a Massenburg, you'll find all that in the Pacifica by A Designs.
In fact, that's what people who have access to all of the above are saying about the Pacifica.
The A Designs Pacifica brings back the sound of the Quad Eight console of the '70s (Pink Floyd's The Wall and Boston's More Than a Feeling were mixed on Quad Eight), which in its day was considered the best of the top three - the other two being Neve and API.
If you're a small studio that can only afford one really good preamp, give the A Designs Pacifica some serious consideration.

Unique preamp based on the legendary Quad Eight Console
All analog, custom-wound input and output transformers
Two front-panel hi-Z inputs
