Hey Seb,

I'm just curious, do you preamps use negative feedback for gain control, or are they fixed gain with attenuation? I'm just trying to understand tube circuits better, learn the tricks of the pros, etc, so any other technical info you can share would be great. :)

Peace,
Al.

Hi,

This is my first post here. Looks like a great resource!

Anyway, I'm wondering if there might be a preamp in the $300 ballpark that might improve my setup. Currently I'm using my Mackie 1604-VLZ (not a "pro").

Hey folks, just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Focusrite G1. I've got a potential deal on one, but would be buying it unheard.

I've liked everything else they've ever made, so on reputation alone it stands well.

I am recording vocals (male) and acoustic guitar for a project and I am going to rent a mic preamp. I will be using a U87 although I may rent a pair of small diaphragm condensers for the guitar..The project is very acoustic and "organic"..here is the list that is available...What do you guys think?

Hi all...
Nice forum with nice guys...
I have a question to you all.

anyone heard the Broadhurst Gardens mic preamp made by D.A.V Electronics in the u.k,looks interesting and very cheap,Designed by Mick Hinton ex Decca design engineer. Julian

Hello,

I need to buy a VERY GOOD micpre.
Dont know what to buy...

I was thinking in SUmmit MPC-100a, but dont have EQ.

or Avalon vt737sp or UA 6176

Whats you opinion ? :confused:

thanks

I don't hear much talk about the Universal
Audio Mic Preamps on this forum much.

Many people use UA products like the 1176, La2a etc.

I use the M610 and have a 2108 on the way.

My friend has a 2108 and I think it sounds
amazing with a studio Projects C3.

Are there just plain better pres for the $.?

I'm looking for a mic preamp with digital out ($500 range), with a better sound that my samson mixer pre's, for use with a RODE nt2 mic and a daw based system with Echo Gina 20 Sound card.
Have you some advice?

I need a mic preamp at $500 range or less with a better sound that my Samson mixer.
I will use it for vocal and classic guitar recording with a RODE NT2 mic and a Gina 20 Sound card.
I need a clean, transparent and detailed sound.
Do you have any advice for me?
