IronFilm Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Totally, forums like gearslutz can get into deep wankery as to which is "better" sounding when really they're just splitting hairs or it is all just subjective anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very true. And if I had a F8 rather than a H6 I would not have been looking. Just appreciate the inbuilt Ambient TC, four power options, locking connectors and intermediate size. I think the MixPre10T might be a bit larger ... although any of the aforementioned devices would have worked with a bit additional work. And I know that the Kashmir preamps are stellar. Only question on the Zoom is that the limiters are in the digital domain ... SD limiters are analog and prior to the digital conversion so potentially less chance of hitting a brick wall and distorting ... perhaps like overexposing and losing highlight information in video. The cello has such dynamics it was a bit of a concern. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the MixPre10T F8/F4 TC last all day long, isn't that enough? Hirose and internal batteries, isn't that enough? Locking connectors... such as BNC/Hirose/XLR? Intermediate size.... ok got me there, going to take a mark off the F4/F8 for being "too small"? :-P ha 19 hours ago, docmoore said: the Kashmir preamps are stellar. The F8/F4 pre amps are excellent too. 19 hours ago, docmoore said: Only question on the Zoom is that the limiters are in the digital domain ... SD limiters are analog and prior to the digital conversion Don't automatically assume that analogue is the ONLY option and the only way to do it. After all Sonosax and Zaxcom don't use analogue limiters. Digital is the way of the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
