Hi Everybody. I know that this topic has been discussed on lots of threads, but i need your advice on which pre is better for my case.
From what i read the conclusion is that for that money all the preamps I could buy are more or less the same, but as there is a lot of preamps for that money, i can't decide...

Which preamps should one consider for a contrasting "character" from a neutral preamp?

My condensers are bright with neutral coloration, and I also use SM57 and ATM25.

Any advice would be much appreciated:

i need a nice preamp for a blue kiwi.. i'm looking to get the best vocal sound i can. the budget for the preamp is 2000...
i've been thinking about a-designs,Focusrite red8,Sebatron 2000e with vu...
what other pres come to mind?

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!)

hi there,
i need a preamp in front of my ad-converter.
ich have the rme-multiface and do the mix in my Cubase in realtime. but there is the need of a analog-like headroom like from a mackie-console. direct converted it sounds not so fat espescially the bass-sounds.
i need it mainly for my synth so not a mic preamp and 8 chanels.

Being a newbie, a tinkerer, and one who is interested in recreating "that sound" from the early 60's obtained in some of those great jazz recordings, I have obtained my first really decent microphone; a Stephen Sank modified B&O. It has the sound I want, but the mixer boards I use have too much hiss and not enough gain.

Yeah, now that you've all helped me so much to decide what Mic to buy, I realized that I really need a decent mic preamp to compliment the Soundelux U99 (I don't think I can wait for the Lawson for 3 months to get assembled). Any Idea's?

Hi everyone,

Kind of a funny question...

I need to do vocal recordings (country & pop lead/backup) with an AKG-414C/BULS. I've got every piece of the chain save a decent preamp. I would prefer not to spend more than $400 on one (1/2 channel, preferrably 2).
