Comments about ART TubeOpto 8 8-Channel Tube Preamp:
After trying out the tubeopto, I was pleasantly surprised at the clarity and transparency of the pre's. I had thought I would end up with a tube warmth that would color my signal too much, but found that the signal is nicely balanced to keep as much color off of each pre as possible. This was also definitely a plug and play piece of equipment, and i was running audio as soon as I had it out of the box and plugged in via ADAT and a word clock (which had no problems at all).
I highly suggest the tubeopto8 as a 8 channel extension for any project or home studio.
