Sad news indeed.
Back in the day when I was involved in that kind of thing the preferred way of doing things was to record it on a Neve and mix it on an SSL. Lot of studios were set up like that.

The New York Times has since published an article which is also quite interesting and well-written.

I was pleased to know that one of Ruperts Engineers of 8 years cited the DIY kit - SCA N72 as one of the closest topologies to the Neve design of that model. I thank Mr Neve for giving us wonderful circuits to place our signals through. Although I like my transparent preamps for many things, something often happens when instruments are recorded with my Neve like N72 preamp. Its sounds a little magical, and more finished.
