HA-73 EQ Elite : A classic preamp-eq in a modern package

The 1073 is likely to be the most famous pre-eq in the world. This time the guys at Heritage Audio have proposed a modern reissue which uses SMD technology mixed with classic transformers and inductors. The result is awesome. Big good sound, an always useful equalizer and a sensible price tag. Good for every thing just like its father with a very small difference with the original.

I use it either for tracking or mixing. It is good for voices and instruments with a special mention for the acoustic guitars. The D.I. input is not as good as others devices I own (namely the API 512C).

The external power supply does not seem to have effects on sound.

The unit is well built and reliable (even with the small torque selectors). I had no problem so far.
