I got the Goldmike, so I'll post the pros and cons out of my own experience, hope it helps. Pros: - Transparent sounding. Flat within 0.5dB 10-100.000Hz - 72dB input gain, extra juice (compared to the normal 60db) for ribbons and some problematic dynamics - Dual Mono Block design, which enhances channel separation and stereo depth - Flair function, which adds a great "expensive" sparkle to acoustic guitars and other instruments - Very smooth gain knobs.....better than those on units x10 the price, seriously. - 80Hz HP filter, phase reverse. - Looks great in the rack. Cons: - Small VU Meters, although they're much better than none at all.. and as you usually set the level and that's it, they work fine. But a bit small nevertheless. - The PAD is a whopping 30dB, way too much for my taste.

Pros: - High technical specification. - Silky, expensive sound. - Attractive styling. - FLAIR enhancement is nicely musical. Cons: - Meters rather small. Summary: A really nice-sounding dual-channel mic preamp at a sensible price.
