Description
Selling ONE langevin 5116 microphone preamps.. Not 5116b Not 5116c... This units are the original version which is the rarest and sounds the purest..UNIT has been serviced. The 5116 is very different than 5116b, this units where originally designed by Western Electric. Some of the purest recordings of Elvis Presley where done with the 5116 model. After owning pretty much all tube preamps except a Maihak v41, I can say that the WSW 811350b and the Langevin 5116 are by far the best preamps.. The only one that beats both of them is a well serviced RCA BA6A with the Elvis mod which is pulling out the compression tube.. So it acts as a preamp... Expensive but worth it...
