I am a fan of SSL but....
I have many SSL device in the 500 racks. We love the VHD PRE. Recently we decided to expand our pre channels with the new VHD+ and we give a try to this handy SixCH. The sound is amazing, we like it, but something in the components have changed. The quality of the switches dropped. They get blocked quite often in intermediate position that cause big pops in the output and mute the channel. The CMP-IN switch all the time is depressed! The same feeling with the new pre VHD+ compared to the old VHD. Very disappointed!!! We expect the SSL standard, but we didn't find it in this 2 VHD+ and the Six CH that we received. We gave 3 stars because the sound is good, but 2 stars to the quality. This is sad :(

ENTRY LEVEL TO SSL
Great preamp at this price range. The gain in the preamp is excellent. The high pass filter is handy. The eq is basic but it does sound great, it allows you to get a good shape on the source. The compressor is basic too, I wouldnt see myself using it unless I had a very dynamic source that needed a little compression. My only issue s the buttons are not of great quality. A lot of features in a preamp, it does have that SSL sound. I would buy another one.

Best price/quality pre amp!
I've been searching for a 500 series pre amp with EQ and compressor and this is an awesome piece of gear!
Being using it on vocals, snare, kick drum and bass... I always find a way to make it work.
The only down side is the boost of volume that the compressor is bringing and not having a trim out to dial the pre amp vs. comp. But other than that, good price for an awesome pre amp!
