Nope but I have a pair of Neve Shelford's and I don't really feel the need to ever replace them. If you can't make incredible high fidelity sounding records with a Shelford then just give up LOL..
As for resale value mine cost $4K each and recently I saw some on e-bay going for around $3650.00, that's converted currency of course because I'm not in the US. As for ease of use, it's very hard to make a Shelford sound bad and it has enough stuff packed into it not to be left wanting. For example I also have a 6176 but the EQ section is too limiting, the pre-amp picky about sources and the 1176 isn't quite as versatile in terms of holistic effect as the bridge diode in the strip. For sure a 1176 is quicker but it can still limit pretty well..
There's no real need to have the 6176 besides it offers a different flavour as such, although I'd go for the Shelford every time if that was my only option and be no worse off for it.

I own the Chandler TG2, their TG12345 EQ, and their Opto Comp. I have two channels of each. Basically, a stereo pair of what’s very similar to the Microphone Cassette.
I also own two RND 511’s, 4 channels of the RND 551 EQs, and 4 channels of the RND 535 Diode Bridge. (Added up, this is VERY similar to a pair of Shelford Channels plus two extra EQ’s and Comps).
Hands down, I highly recommend you getting the Shelford Channel. If I were starting over or I was forced to sell one or the other, these Shelford-esque 500 series units are the ones I would keep. 100%.
PS: You could also try the Heritage Audio Brit Strip

Damn the price increase on the Portico line is brutal. Guess I won't be getting a Master Buss Processor any time soon...

Personally I'd wait until things settle and then weigh up your options.. I got tired of the trade and upgrade cycle, in the end it just cost me more money and frustration. |

You could own 46 Behringer preamps for that. |

Hell, you could own a lot more than just 46 Behringer Preamp's! The Behringer ART tube pre clone can't be more than 49 dollars, right?

<wipes sweat from brow> Maaaan, feeling pretty lucky with the deal I got on a used MBP six months ago. Really hoping supply shortages don’t create more havoc in the tiny world that is high end audio hardware. Fingers crossed. |

Everything is getting more expensive…inflation, semiconductor shortages, supply chain issues…I just impulse bought a second Gefell umt70 because I’m afraid they’ll go up in price. Idk, the good ol days may be gone. I think certain things will level out, but some things (including used gear) I think will stay more expensive. We’ll see.

Things were getting expensive before Covid became a thing now it's turned into sheer madness, the car I bought a year ago has gone up $10K. |
