Well, of course, the ULN-8 isn’t just a pre-amp: it happens to have eight very nice low-noise high-gain mic pre-amps as part of the package, that’s all. Also, rather obviously, I didn’t buy the Tetramic and then the ULN-8. The ULN-8 has been at the centre of my studio set-up for many years and has proved to be well worth the money.
Empirically, based on my own experiences, the two low-cost (sub-$1,000.00) multitrack portable recorders that I tried after initially purchasing the Tetramic, were noisy at high gain when attempting to record quieter sounds with the Tetramic. I found that this was not the case with the ULN-8 and also with the Sound Devices 788T. We shall see how the SD Mix-Pre 6 behaves when it eventually reaches these shores. As always, other people may have different experiences, but their needs may not be the same as mine.
