different sounding tubes

Hi
I bought an Oktava MKL5000 and it was complete crap so the seller replaced it. The new one was ok, but the noise performance was not as good as I had hoped, so I decided to mess around with different valves. What really surprised me was how different each valve sounded.

I tried Mullard EF95s, and while they were too noisey, the sound was very rich and full.

Still very confused... Mach 5 or Kontakt 2... ideas?

I am waiting on my copy of kontakt 2. i am not to familiar with either kontakt 2 or mach 5.

here is my situation:
G5 dual 1.8 2GB Ram 2nd drive for audio 7200RPM SATA

digital performer 4.5 and uad card

which runs with more stability? which is a better sounding unit? any feedback would be of great help.

KONTAKT 2 OR MACH 5 AND WHY?

Which UAD-1 plugs considered essential?

. I've heard good about the Pultec and the LA-2A . .

I havn't bought yet and I am deciding between the project and studio paks...

the plugs I'm using are the Kjuher(sp?)-audio classic series plugs, and from what I've read and heard the UA plugs should be quite an improvement.

so, which plugs would i get the most immediate bennefit from?

Home recording and Hercules 16/12 FW - HELP?

Hi ..I am looking to set up my new laptop (powerbook G4 17") to be able to record my 3 piece punk band. I will be using Logic Express.

I want to be able to record drums with bass simultaneously before adding guitar/vocals etc..so...ie. 6-8 mics on drums..and one on bass guitar recording at the same time. - possibly recording a guide vocal track also at the same time.
