demedioengineering.com/Anyone used this pre ? And why don't we hear more about it ? The console is world renowned so I'd think it would at least be talked about , unless this version doesn't Capture the same vibe as the console. Anyone?

demedioengineering.com/Anyone used this pre ? And why don't we hear more about it ? The console is world renowned so I'd think it would at least be talked about , unless this version doesn't Capture the same vibe as the console. Anyone? I have wondered how this preamp compares with the original pre's in the Sunset Sound Studio 1 console? From what I've read the custom console in Sunset Sound Studio 1. had micpre's similar to Jensen Twin Servos's with nickel transformers and two 990 style opamps. This design was reissued in a limited 500 Series preamp called the Sunset Sound SP1 Tutti. The De Medio modified API console in Studio 3. appeared to have its API 312 preamps also fitted with Jensen transformers with a single 990 DOA replacing the original API 2520. Both consoles were fitted with API 550A EQ's. Maybe someone who knows these things in-the-flesh could chime in? |

And sorry - don't mean to sound like a shill for CAPI...although I'm an admitted fan.

. I just wonder why a pre made by The original designer copied from a legendary console and I've never seen it even mentioned.
There so much talk about the console and even Jeff has design of it which tells me how great the pre is .
By the way Capi is fucking great .

No advertising, no distribution, no shills. People never ask "what happened to so-and-so? Does he make a current product?", they just scan the mags/forums/FB/etc to gauge the loudest drooling. If the guy has enough sales for the size he wants to be and the amount he wants to work, you might never hear of him. Means nothing about the quality of the product.

Now I'm confused are we talking about the Heider console or the custom Sunset Sound console?
My understanding were the preamps in the custom De Medio console in Sunset Sound Studio 1 used nickel transformers and dual 990's.
While the API in Studio 3 used modified API 312's.
These mods also appear similar to the custom API console from Indigo Ranch that Deane Jensen modified with nickel transformers and 918/990 op amps.
