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").

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

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?
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.

Hey Gang, I was browsing and came across this artical

thought I'd share..

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.
