Since we're on the subject of mics and preamps, the Slate Digital VMS-One is a preamp designed for ultra-linear, ultra-transparent response by no less than Paul Wolff, former owner and principle designer for API and Tonelux.

Well, Steven Slate feels your pain and has made it his mission to make millions of dollars worth of vintage equipment available to all. After all, how do you compete with studios such as Allen Sides' Ocean Way, where an engineer has the ability to put a $30k pair of AKG C12 on drum overheads, a $15k vintage Neumann U47 on kick, and $30k for a vintage Telefunken ELAM 251 or a $10k Sony 800G on vocals, and we haven't gotten into preamps yet. The Slate Digital VMS-One is a super linear, ultra low-noise preamp designed specifically for the Slate Digital Virtual Microphone System by Paul Wolff of API and ToneluxĪs modern recording musicians, perhaps we would have been better off not knowing what we know now about recording equipment.
