I have no idea what the differences are, but I lift my skirt when I hear germanium pre and quality parts. Seriously though, I feel pretty stupid I didn't even realize that AML will build them from their side and ship them fully built and tested. I've been looking at AML gear for a couple years but don't really want to go the DIY route most of the time. I do have a DIYRE 73P kit which is the 1073 authentic circuit with three gain stages. But that sitting here unbuilt for months and I'm hoping to get time over the holidays to do it. I ordered two of these 1058 pres (as prebuilt) from AML and in less than 10 hours they were already shipped. Like, actually shipped not that label printed thing. They'll be here in about 3 or 4 days from the UK (I'm in US). Seriously freaking impressive! If I'd known for the past couple years that I could get AML to professionally build it for me I would have more than zero AML gear right now. Never too late to learn what I didn't know and to get caught up :-) I won't be competent to make the comparisons that you're looking for ericn, but I could upload some sound examples. |

I've still got a pair of the 5003D (that were only available as pre-built) and still digging them. These 1058s look really nice, but if i was going to get a pair I think I'd be looking for the EQ points of the 1081 (they would be more useful to me right now). I only wish they were available in a 1 slot 500 series like these (and it's amazing Colin squeezed all that 1058 into one slot) btw - this has document the EQ points of the original 1058 (and I'm assuming Colin's 1058 follows this pretty closely) www.technicalaudio.com/neve/neve_pdf/1058_channel_amplifier_fullpak.pdf |

My guess is the 1057 and 1058 have different EQ points.

From what I found... (looked it up because I was curious)
1057
HPF filter - 20, 45, 70, 160, 360
low shelf - 35, 60, 100, 220 Hz
high shelf - 10KHz
mids - 700Hz, 1.2K, 2.4K, 3.8K, 7K
1058
low shelf @ 40Hz
high shelf @ 10Khz
Mid eq -- 1.7K, 2.5K, 3.5K, 5K, 7K
I still like the 1081 eq points but no doubt these probably sound fantastic on the right source...
