Rupert Neve Designs is a brand that is highly rated in the studio world, and got a reputation to defend. It's good to see that their products, even the hifi devices are technically solid. They may not be the most cleanest (they never claimed that btw), but at least they are relative good measuring and solid build. But off course you pay also for the name and the connection with Rupert Neve (R.I.P.) himself.
But their studio gear is used in the biggest studio's for recording, mixing and mastering, and all that i know who have some rate it very high. Some of it is deliberad build to colour the sound with harmonic distortion, the right ones at least. That is why Neve (AMS Neve and RND) is known for in the first place.
