Isn't there a superhero that can see through cardboard?
True story, my last album was certified Cardboard.

The post was made by a producer talking about I can't wait to cut overdubs. My idea is you would need to add a pre-to that chain for vox. Wa73 to hit the LA2a and then boost the HF EQ on the Avalon to tape, so the wa73 is my guess. I would love to see the wa3a especially since the reissue is not in production anymore. Excited for another Warm Audio product.

My guess is that it will be a channel strip with both preamp and compressor choices.

There's a mic pre and an Eq in the pic right? That Avalon below the 2A? Hmmm... Is that a chain? If it is a mic or a converter would make sense but a Warm converter doesn't seem right. No vintage counterpart to emulate.
Maybe it's a puppy!!!

Yeah, a 1073 clone would make the most sense, given what they've put out so far. And I'm sure it would be good, but...I don't know. Another 1073 copy? Do we really need another option in that area? Secretly hoping it's something more interesting.

Now, if it was a 1073 clone (or a 1081!!) with the EQ circuit in addition to the pre, all at a reasonable price, then that could be really interesting.

I would buy a WA73 with a HP EQ circuit without so much as reading a review. Do they make anything that isn't high quality AND a good value?

Yes, an EQ circuit that rivals the Heritage Audio take on the 1073 under $800, that would be a no brainer.

agree, if they could get the EQ in there, and the right price point, that would be somethin' special

I'm gonna say it's a WA73, and it'll be pretty similar to their WA12. That'll give them the two staple mic pre flavors, API and Neve, along with two staple comp flavors (1176/LA2A).

Well, there ya go.. We're in agreement. A WA73 it will be.

Hopefully he will contact Geoff Tanner and get his transformers that he uses. I know it's a long shot and probably too pricey but one can dream right! Also, Cinemag may have recreated the perfect Marinair input trafo and lo1166 output trafo I agree with others though, it would need something other than standard Cinemag transformers. The Avalon was positioned beneath the wa2a and every Avalon unit i have used/ been around gets real real hot so I don't think it was in use unless for insert eq! so Im feeling they were using the Avalon pre it would be to the side of the wa2a, seeing as from the shot, each pieces is XLR into each other (patch bay noted however, pieces seem "unpatched")

I am totally okay with cinemag winding the absolute exact transformer. If they do that I can stop paying for shipping from England and buy direct for another gap pre-73 upgrade.
I am also okay with buying a wa73 cause it will knock it out of the park as always!

Seeing as how the 1176 was on top of the Avalon which has an optical compressor I'm going to venture that its replicating the LA chain which is 1073 > 1176 > LA2A but in this case 1073 > 1176 > 737 compressor. So my vote is a 1073. Bryce was known for doing some really great work regarding the 1073 in the past. I'm sure if its a 1073 it will be nothing short of phenomenal. And of course if you park a Zulu at the end you've got a great Warm N Fuzzy bundle -L

That's a warm audio WA2A sitting on top of the Avalon 737. The WA2A is a recreation / clone of the famous Teletronix LA2/A , except you will be the proud owner of four of these units vs the price of one UA LA2A reissue. If you check around on other forums users have compared them to originals, and have left great feedback regarding the warm audio wa2a' sound, performance, build quality, components/ parts quality and of course price. Take care

There is a definite market for an LA3a clone. The 1073 market is already cluttered enough.

Totally agree would love a good la3a ,but still think a neve is a bigger market overall The 1176 clones was a cluttered market , but Warm seems to be selling a ton of them . I think because he hits a good performance vs price point ratio

There is a definite market for an LA3a clone. The 1073 market is already cluttered enough. That may very well be, but in terms of the depth of Warm's product line, they already have a good handle on the compressor "clone" market. A 3A actually clutters up their own field. On the other hand, being able to offer a classic 1073 -> 1176 -> LA-2A chain from top to bottom offers them an appealing marketing position and opportunity. Strangely, and as someone who is in the market for a 1073, I don't see clutter - at least not the price range I expect Warm to come in at. Let's say they come out with a 1073 at $899, or even better at $799, and further assume that the quality level is what we have come to expect from them. Where's the clutter? Who are they competing against? Yes, the same can be said about a LA3A, but where's the unique marketing opportunity?

Since the WA2A is a recent release, I doubt any company would make another product that directly competes with the rollout. Perhaps after the initial sales response and development and production costs are recouped and some profit made, they might look into something like an LA3A, but I don't see that coming for a long time.
There are definitely other products that would expand their line in more of a complete system type way. A 1073 or an A/D-D/A converter would make much more sense for Warm.

I think thus converter that you're hoping for is a pipe dream. I can't imagine a company that's doing hardware clones jumping into new designs of digital conversion. Totally different skill sets involved.
