573 is the perfect amount of fuzzy!

The Vintech 573 has quickly become my favorite mic pre for vocals. It provides the right amount of warm fuzziness while keeping the signal clear. A great buy for a wonderful price.

Vintech 573 simply rocks

I am extremely happy. I have both the vin tech 573 and the neve 1073lb and I can say the vintech has more character. Love it. I am going to get at least 6 more to have a total of 8. Amazing.

Amazing Sound without breaking the bank

These are excellent sounding preamps and at a very reasonable price. I have a pair and have so far used them on drum overheads, room mics, bass guitar (mic'ed, or with the built in DI and with an ext... read more [+]ernal DI). As overheads they sounded very similar to my A-Designs P1's. On bass guitar the bottom is just huge. I can imagine for heavy guitars it would be similar.

Everyone will want to know if these sound just like a 1073? It doesn't really matter. Buy it because the Vintech 573 has a great sound.

The construction quality looks good and feels good from the outside - I popped the cover and all I will say is be glad that it is covered up! Not the cleanest design specimen, but again, they sound great and Vintech is using quality components inside too.

I do wish that there was some kind of LED indicator on at least the phantom switch. Not a deal killer though -- I just need to double-check these closely before plugging in mics. close [-]

I've owned a pair of x73s. I love these, but decided to go 500 series for a PT HD rig for my Yacht Studio. Anyway, they don't sound as good as the x73's. They don't sound as full as the 73s and I miss... read more [+] a little of the sizzle on the top end, about at 16-20K.. But, they are vintech so built great and solid! close [-]

The Vintech is warm and clean (well above middle of the road pre's)
However my point of reference is a Shadow hills mono Gama.
With the Shadow hills both mic/di I clearly he finger touch... read more [+] sensitivity and harmonic content that is just not there with the Vintech.
Want a good pre buy the vintech, want a GREAT pre then spend the few extra bucks on the Shadow hills.

Btw tracking was done into pro tools Native at 96/192Khz with blue gen converters.
