Okay after listening to a Neve 1073LB, Heritage, Bae and other 500 series & 1U Rack Units, this thing finished in 3rd place for me. Obviously the original Neve 1073LB is the best, 2nd was Heritage. This was the 3rd for me. For this price i'd say it has 90% the sound of an original Neve unit. In a mix, you'd never tell which one is it. So buy it!
