Good question, but the level of analogue may have gone up to $85K+ with the arrival of the Caliburn, from Continuum Media Site !
My buddy has a Walker Procenium / Steelhead Pre which I use as a reference for voicing my modded CEC / Museatex front end with in my rig.
As far as the Esoteric sounding like true analogue, well that's my hope and goal too, you can get close and exceed in certain areas, but the easeful, relaxed, natural, explosive dynamics outta the black void is a hard bridge to cross sucessfully (once you heard it, you know for good)
I'm striving for real and natural.
Happy Holidays !!
