preamp vs external preamp like bae 1073
I know Babyface pro pres are good but can I make hit high quality radio songs From its preamp without an external preamp and external compresser/equlizer. I know eq and mixing play a part but I wanna take my quality to the next level. I just bought a Soyuz 017 fet and wondering if I get an external pre how much of a quality jump will it be. Preamp I'm thinking of getting is bae 1073DMP.
Will the external pre just give coloring and not make a big difference in sound quality.
Should I just stick with the Babyface pros pres.
