To my ears, this shows the adage that the preamp will have a greater impact than the mic. I especially enjoy shootouts that put a "control" that is a common component. this one with the more consumer tubepre and duet vs. a more pro sebatron. Maybe the distortion could have been tamed in the 414 recordings, but the sebatron both on clear and warmth were just what they should have been. more bigger, more stuff in the lower frequencies. Hey you can cut in mixdown, but you can;t add.
As to what I liked, I think I liked #7, but I could enjoy playing around the area between clear and warm. I'll have to look at that unit and see if there is a way to do that, or maybe it is just a switch setting?

thanks for the test.
