Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIII Review / Test / Explained

Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIII which is a budget Neve 1073 style preamp. This offers +80dB of gain with 2 high pass filters and 2 high shelf filters as well as a variable mic input impedance. For a budget outboard pre, this thing is very powerful and versatile.
