Hi Pal...

So, I'm thinking about maybe adding another preamp to my rig in the next month or two. As you probably already know, I'm currently using PreSonus XMax pres for the bulk of my recording.

I know that you have the Focusrite ISA 1.. and I know you like it.

If you don't mind, could you talk to me a bit more about this model?

I'm contemplating my next buy. It will be a preamp. I'm looking for "that tube sound". I need richness and clarity, etc. This preamp is primarily for vocals. If it does vocals well, then I'm happy. I can always try it out on other things.

That being said, I'm torn between these two:

Hey, I've been lurking around here for a little bit now and have a question for the general recording public.

How do you guys feel about the PreSonus XMAX preamps? Where do they fall in the grand scheme of mic preamps?
