Hello everyone!!!!!
I want to add to my home studio an analog mixer with good preamps and 16 separate outs
I know it exist old ones but good and cheaper than new
Do you know models? marks?

soundtracs topaz is a nice sounding old analog desk relatively cheap
if money is no object then finding second hand ssl or neve or amek classic api yamaha did a nice tape vesion mixer that u2 used on one of there albums they pop up on ebay for cheap once and a while
or Siemens types studer
most of these use ne5532 audio opamps apart from api that use descrete opamps
and in tests even to this day with newer audio grade opamps that are very expensive are only on par with the ne5532
i liked the soundtracs topaz range i now use a diy all tube mixer

For Soundtracs in the UK, Tim Jones is probably the way to go.
