How do you guys feel about using tube mics into tube preamps? Is this just "too much tube"?

I'm assuming all my favorite, character-drenched recordings from the 70's used this chain (and then some - tube eq's, tube compression, etc.).

This topic has come up here before. I remember seeing it, but the "search" engine here doesn't filter things too much, and returns many unrelated results.

Thanks. 8-)

I don't see a problem with this. It has worked well in the past. there's no reason it wouldn't work now. As with all things audio, results are subjective, application dependent and ymmv ...

Best thing is to let your ears guide you ... if it sounds good do it ... and if it doesn't sound good, don't ever do that again.
