Thats correct,I replaced them as a preventive measure,just in case.
I looked into several other 12AT7s,but seeing as how Im not familiar with "preamp" tubes,I decided to go with OEM stuff.
I was gonna go with Mullards,but untill I become more familiar with the SEbs tones-hot-or-cold-Ill stick with whats been tried and proven.

I have met a couple of guys who were pretty good at audio work and sound production, but when I bring up pre-amps they really don't know all that is out there.
Sure everybody who's anybody has heard of Avalon. But not all guys want to throw all that cash down on good quality pre's. They would rather learn about "pro tools" or whatever.
Not that this has anything to do with the dude you were talking about.
Just a thought

Just a thoughtAs far as Preamps,the only pres that I saw,were 2 Presonus M-80s,http://www.presonus.com/m80.html
he had those specifically for drums,he also had alot of TC electronic gear.

As far as I know that pre-amp unit is mostly used as a live, or gigging pre-amp. Not that it doesn't sound way better than most mixing board pre-amp's.
And you can certantly use it live or in the studio. But it's the guy's who understand "real" audio signal quality that use only the best in high-end pre-amps.
You know eddies880, It is really amazing to me how some guys, just don't understand how important high-end pre-amps are.
Speaking of which, I can't wait to get my first Sebatron unit.

Most pro's I know are acctually pretty concerned with their mic pre's. If they pro's you talk to don't know quality pre's then I would be looking for advice from another pro. I'm no pro and I know what high quality pre's are. Sure you'll find some pros with Avalons but you're more likely to find stuff from Apogee, Manley, Massenburgs, Universal Audio, Summit Audio.

1) Who says I was asking for advice?
2) please define pro....does pro mean you make money at it?
The guy's at the club that I was with, have a whole lot more equipment than I have, those are the only "pro's" I know. (the ones with more equipment than me) :lol:
If somebody has over $200,000 dollars in pro-audio equipment. A Midas console, pro tools and their own studio. I am gonna talk to that "pro" anyday of the week.
This guy is making $50 an hour. Is that pro enough?
And the only advice I asked was, When can I come see your studio?
Alot of pro's dont use outboard gear, I do. But that's just the way it is.

I was kinda suprised to see the M 80s in his studio,but I guess he knows what hes doing,I listened to several bands he recorded,the dude know his job.
As far as the using the Seb,it makes recording "so much" easier.I recorded keyboard tracks yesterday through the unit,it really takes the digital edge off,and makes the keyboard sound like they should.
Im really glad I took the plung and purchased the Seb,I kinda got lucky and (in my opinion)got it at a good price.
You just gotta set youre mind to it,and buy the unit,if you ponder on it too long--it just makes things worse,I know I did,and ended up buying cheap pieces of F$%^%#%$#-------crap!
With the money I threw away on the cheap F$@#$$ crap! I could of purchased some more "real mics"------------------but I guess you have to live and learn.
