Mic Pres / Compressors / A/D converters

[somalade]

Hi people...

I'm looking at purchasing a good quality mic pre / compressor / A/D converter to use with my Digi 001. I'll still use the digi when I need to record more than 1 or 2 trakcs (drums etc), but want something better quality for vocals / guitars / bass etc...

Been looking at:

- Apogee Mini Me
- Focusrite voicemaster pro / twintrakpro
- TL Audio ivory2 5050 or 5060

I prefer not to process the raw signal too much as I record it, so really don't need too much from the unit other than preamp / some compression and A/D converters. Preferably 2 channels. I don't mind a bit of colouration if it is not too aparent, but adds something good.

My best mics are 2x AKGC3000B at the moment.

Any recommendations? I'm leaning towards the Apogee, but it is the most expensive so need some convincing!

Cheers
