Are these still going about? I'm not looking hard, but I am looking for something to expand palette and I've had designs on a ViPre for some time.

I'd be looking to work with the variable input, my mics are in my sig but I'd be looking at the obvious ones, Royer, Neumann, Coles, CO - would this be a good purchase for me?

I know the prices for these range from about $1,500 to $3,600... but I'm not asking to compare the units based on price...

Which is the best all around pre for vocals, acoustic and/or bass guitar?
The Hardy M1 would be with the optional output transformer installed.

I've read up on everything I can find but want to hear from actual experience... please.

for vox which one would you prefer?
thank you

I just switched from a Millennia TD-1 to a Vipre. I do love the versatility and sound of the vipre over the Millennia Pre but there is that certain sound I'm still looking for. How different are these units considering that the vipre has a lot of different settings. I'm getting closer but I'm just not there yet.

hey folks. I want to
1. increase the gain in my vipre without clipping in Pro Tools.
2. I also want a way to turn my monitors down while recording with my headphones without having to reach around and turn my monitors off.

anybody got one ?whats your opinion of it?

I'm looking for some responces to the usage and sound quality of these two items. I'm interested in purchasing one or both to further enhance the quality of my vocals. My goal is to get excellent sound while at the same time satisfying my level of creativity.
Thanx,

Hi folks. Consulting the oracle again. Came across blurbs for the Groovetubes Vipre variable impedance preamp.Just wondering, has anybody checked out this unit? Any opinions? Quality etc.?

Kind regards
