Does any body know if this preamps have much better quality than then ones on the TLA C-1?

Hi all Im facing a little bit of a delima
Ok I now have 6 channels of preamplification (at least I will soon)

2 channels langevin am 16
2 channels SSL (custom racked)(E series i believe)
2 channels of Sebatron vmp 2000e (cant wait for this beauty to come!)

Does anyone have any experience with the DMS 22? I'm looking at buying one (maybe).

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").

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?
Forgive my bad English

Hi ya folks, I was thinking of buying a mic preamp here recently, and have narrowed down the choices to either the "RNP" or "Grace 101" My Primary use for this mic preamp is "Vocals" and some "Acoustic Guitar". I record vocals at home and record most of the music at local studio. But anyway My Mic is a Audio-Technica 4050.

I am running a digi 001 through my Mackie mixer. My next step is to upgrade my preamps, because I don't have a lot to compare to, but we all know the reputation for Mackie preamps.

The kind of stuff i do mostly is rock (distortion guitar), but I need to do a range of things including acoustic guitar.

What would be the best stereo preamp option for around $1000?

The MP-1 & MP-2 aren't being made anymore, but Gaines Audio seem to make good quality gear for little cash?

Anyone used their pres or other gear? The MP-2 seems to be in a few decent studios, racked with more well known preamps.

I was thinking of buying a dbx 386 ttp://www.zzounds.com/ite…

and running S/PDIF out of it into 'Brand X' soundcard's S/PDIF input (for simple guitar/voice recordings - I am the ONLY client - lol)

Or should I buy a FMR Audio or M-Audio PreAmp and run the signal analog to 'Brand X' soundcard's XLR or 1/4' inputs.
