I just literally got a really good deal at GC. They are selling today only (Labor Day 2006) the Blue Robbie Microphone Preamp for $399.00 plus tax. It's normal list is $1299 and GC and everyone else has been selling it for $999.00. I auditioned one of these about 2.5 years ago and really fell in love with the sound but did not like the price.

Hello. Currently have an ART TubePac-decent, but need more headroom. FMR RNP looks interesting. (and the price range) Any opinion, and or direction would help. Thank, Barefoot. (currently recording mostly Female Vox.)

hello ppl,

i am looking for a mic and preamp, that has the most clean, transparent and smooth sound. (smooth is what i'm looking for)

its for male vocals - pop / rock music.

i'm a little tired of tubes.

thanks a lot.

Ive come to a standstill in my own research and I thought maybe someone around here could give me some advice/opinions. :D

So before I get to deep into this my first question is.
Do I Still need to buy another interface when I have an A/D converter like the ones listed below?
If so: Would my audigy 2 suffice for this, since the DAC's would be bypassed anyway?

6SN7 & 12SN7. any of you guys who build or tinker have any opinions?

I know the au,at & 6sn7 are lower gain than their counterparts.

Any thoughts on the way they sound?

Thanks

I don' t mean any cheap starved plate jobs.

What do you expect from a GOOD tube mic preamp?

What do you want to hear from it when you audition it?

What features are must haves?

Thanks
:lol:

I've heard bad things about running 2 mic preamps in series... and it makes sense as to why... but I have a question about specific items.

i'm looking to add warmth to my vocals. any ideas under $300 new/used?

worth the work it does for it price.

these are the few i been looking at
but if you know something thats better for the same price range lmk
