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:

The original Vintech 1073 knock-off. And they nailed it! Fantastic recreation of the incredibly sought after Neve 1073 mic preamp and EQ. Consideing that you can purchase three Vintech x73's and a power supply with a Full factory warranty for the price of one single Neve 1073 module (unwarranted), we're suprised people stil even bother. If the classic Neve sound is what you are after, look no further.

Description:

The Vintech X73 is a class A, all discrete, transformer balanced microphone preamplifier with equalizer. It is built with the same circuit design and components as the classic Neve 1073 module. The unit features: Custom made concentric style switches with gold plated contacts. Genuine Elma brand Swiss made 22 postion switch with gold plated contacts used on the input attenuator. St. Ives input and output transformers. Custom made machined aluminum knobs. Custom Clarostat conductive plastic potentiometers in the eq section. Output level display, Direct input for instruments. All discrete circuitry means no usage of integrated circuits (no IC chips), all amplifier circuits are built from separate selected components.
