I'm looking for a low cost premp to drive my Beyer M260 this is a bit above what I would like to pay but looks very interesting. I live so far off the beaten path I can't try stuff out which sucks. Any other suggestions? Are the PreSonus BlueTube DP Stereo Dual Path Microphone/Instrument Preamp With 12AX7 Tube I like the price break. I want to try this with vocals (flavor I hope) and possibly record some pipes.

Thanks!

If you let us know what the rest of your signal chain is it might help in getting better advice.
I don't know anything about the Grace unit but the Presonus one I have used, it added a smal amount of "warmth" but was not an outstanding difference IMO. This DP unit is a stereo (dual input) that uses one tube not sure how they do that, but Presonus makes a similar single path unit for about half the cost. http://www.platinum-records.com/Presonus-TubePre-Mono-tube-preamp-prod9488.htm
