Thanks for the replies, folks. Hope to hear more, soon.
Thought it might help if I added a list of some of my preamps, so you'd know what I would comparing the 002 preamps with.
Grace Design V2 (same pre's as 101, 201 & 801)
Sytek MPX-4Aii
Presonus, Digimax 96
DBX 586
DBX 386
DBX 760X (with Jim Williams/Audio Upgrades modifications)

The Grace and Sytek are far better than the other pres you've listed. The Sytek is a steal and a fanastic unit. The 002 pres are ok, but I AB'd them against my Universal Audio 2108 (on low saturation) and even though the 2108 is a dark pre, it had a considerable difference in the high end- much more transient and life like on vox. However, as someone said above, they are quite capable and I wouldn't be afraid to use them when you run out of good pre (I use them on snare and toms).
