While I like Neve very much and don't have the money, neither the room
for such a mixing console, some aged Soundcraft mixing consoles already
provide(d) the same. I don't own such a Soundcraft mixer, but other than
Neve, they were affordable for home studios that time and that time a
friend owned one. I don't know if Soundcraft still offers payable
mixing consoles with studio quality discrete circuits nowadays.
However, if somebody should need analog colouring, there are likely
still good and cheap tube preamps available, perhaps still from Arts,
just stay away from cheap Behringer tube preamps.
