I have just gotten my first "real" Pre. An OSA "C" model and have some questions about external pres in general.

I've got the Digi002 and I want a 2 channel preamp and an A/D converter that I can then go into the SPDIF inputs of the 002. ...

I'm looking to spend anywhere between $1000-$2000 for both things together. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for the best stuff I can get in this range for this purpose?

Thanks!

hi folks,

I have appox. 20 mic's. I know that is NOT alot. However I want to get a preamp or one of the preamp units that have 2, 3, or even 4 channels of preamps.
Please remark! (any one BUT that Sproll guy!)

Hi
I'm a new member, from Sweden. Because of (some) principels and a all too real budget I'm as for now a 'one mic' fan, playing bluegrass..

hello all,

i have an aardvark q10 and i really like it but i would like to capitalize on its ability to have two more inputs through S/PDIF. and so I'm looking for preamps that have S/PDIF output.

it would be nice if the preamps would be a little step up from the pres in the aardvark or at least might provide a different 'flavor' or 'color' than the aardvark's.

My understanding is that coming out of the preamp is a 'line level'. And if your multiitrack doesn't have a line level input and you go thru another input you are just going thru the multitrack's preamp, which is what you are trying to avoid even though you may have 'warmed' up your sound with the external preamp.

How do you use an external preamp, I mean like what input do you plug it into on a multitrack?

Hello,
I am thinking about buying a Sebatron Vmp-2000e. Should I get one with VU? How important is a VU? it is $300 more. The 4000e model does not have VU at all. Thanks for advice.

I keep seeing posts of people asking what Preamp they should get for $500 or $600, and if there is anything that is good out there. I have an ART Digital MPA Gold channel mic preamp that I am as pleased as punch with. As far as I know it is all tube and to me it sounds great!
