I recently bought the Focusrite Saffire Pro 26 i/o which cost me the equivalent of about $US630 in Australia (so, the Pro 10 would be a bit cheaper). It has proved to be very good, except that when I first got it the driver software would not work with my Intel iMac. That problem was fixed reasonably quickly with a new update. The preamps seem to be very quiet - I used it last weekend for a choir performance with nice, shiny, new condenser mics and the results were very good. cheers, all anthony linden jones http://www.myspace.com/anthonylindenjones Sydney, Australia
