The Vintech X73i (Neve 1073) Replica is compared side-by-side an original pair of Vintage Neve 1073's in a scientific mic preamp shootout at Sound Pure recording studios.  For the shootout, The Sound Pure Steinway Concert grand piano was recorded using a matched pair of Peluso P12 Tube microphones (Vintage Clones of the AKG C12 microphone) spaced across the piano's strings.  Each microphones' output was split, one to the Neve and one to the Vintech X73i.  Volume output at identical levels was tested by verifying virtually complete phase cancellation between the two signals when summed together (with one preamp set to phase reverse).  The Vintage clone Vintech X73i blew the minds of the engineers at Sound Pure studios, as the differences between the Vintech and the Neve were imperceptible.  After the listening, the Sound Pure engineers discuss their impressions of the sounds that they were hearing through the studio monitors in the Sound Pure control room.  Sound Pure is a proud seller of Vintech products, and can be reached to answer any questions about the mic pre shootout, or if you'd like the high res audio files for your own listening.  Sound Pure can be reached toll free at 888-528-9703.

What we think:


An absolutely stunning deal... The 273 is an amazing replica of the preamps found in the original Neve 1073 modules. Given that this 2-channel unit sells for less than a single Neve 1073 module, it is an amazing value, especially when countless engineers have been dumbfounded by the fact that they can't tell the Vintech pre's apart form the real thing.

Description:


The Vintech Audio model 273 is a stereo set of class A, all discrete, transformer balanced microphone preamplifiers with "essential eq" on each channel. The mic pre's are based on the classic Neve 1073 module.
