Someone dare me to buy a UA 6176.

Yeah, go ahead.  Try it.  The special is over at the end of the month.  UA 6176 purchase gets a free UAD2 Quad card as a rebate (and I bump the capacity of my UAD 2 Solo card occasionally.)  I've been watching every 1176 that has come on Ebay and not many show up at bargain prices.  That plus a 610 (and I love my M610).
 
Geez, it's not going to take much to hit my tipping point.

Do it. Do it.
 
I've got a pair of Purple MC77 1176 clones and I luvs them.
 
I love my LA610 mk1s too.
 
Plus you can make your self a killer clear acrylic rack case to show all the patch cables and stuff. Maybe use a blue LED lighting scheme back there or something like that. :-)
 
Happy holidays.

Nice thing with the 6176 is you can use the 610 and 1176 separately.
Love my LA-610, but there are times I wish I could use just the comp.

OK - I triple dog dare you!

NOW it's serious. You skipped the triple dare you and went straight to the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare.  I don't see how I can get out of this one.

The trigger has been pulled.  Explained to the lovely Mrs. Mod Bod that a "triple dog dare" had been employed and it was a matter of family honor now.  

Well, now I know this strategy is so effective...

I checked and Fedex has it out for delivery this morning.  As usual after the purchase, I immediately got buyers remorse thinking of how much I dropped on this baby.  But I've got a feeling that once I plug a mic into it and hear it in the headphones, I'll get that warm glow again.   

Anyone know something about this statement in the 6176 manual?
 
"Make only one connection (Mic, Line or Hi-Z) to the 6176 preamp section"
 
I plan to rack this baby up and run the Inputs to a HOSA PDR-369 Mic In Panel or just run it straight into a mic line of the mic-snake I have going into my iso booth.  I can't see unplugging a mic cord out of the back every time I want to use the Hi-Z jack on the front.  Especially since it has a switch in the front panel for the source.

I also did some forum sleuthing and came upon the opinion that if you have multiple inputs hooked up the is some minor interference from other sources.  So I believe as others have suggested that as long as I only have one active source at a time, I shouldn't hear any problems.
 
Here's a pic of my new baby in her new home.

not even screwed in yet either.   yeppers...use those black plastic washers you've got.  Congrats...you [fortunate] dawg !

Yeah, leave it to me to forget to order a few 3 ft XLR to TRS cords to wire up the extra outputs and inputs into my patch bay.  I'd like to be able to access the input and output of the compressor and preamp sections separately.  That's why I haven't fastened it down yet.  (And I have a bunch of those black nylon cup washers.)
