presonus tubepre

Hello all, I have, what I hope will be, a simple question:

Has anyone tried the PreSonus TubePRE Mic preamplifier?, is the quality good for the price?, how are it's results?

hey guys, i just recently bought a tubepre and although it was a relatively cheap device, i feel like it is a pretty nice improvement over the stock preamps in my mbox. my question is, how much more of an upgrade/quality of sound increase would i get if i got the PreSonus eureka down the road?

Looking for a good but inexpensive microphone preamp for both acoustic steel and nylon guitar as well as vocals, just for home recording. It seems that everyone gives PreSonus good reviews, though there tube needs frequent replacement. Just wondering what people think about the Samson C-valve. Technically, it seems to do everything the PreSonus does, but it also sports S/PDIF outputs.

I have a PreSonus tubepre and a bluetube that were my very first stand alone pre's and now I have better pre's so I haven't been using them. The question is, should I sell them or are there any mods I can do with them, could I change the tube? The tubepre needs the gain pot lubed up, its getting scratchy.

I am still a beginner with Pro Tools and recording in general. I have an Mbox, and have make some decent recordings, but I just picked up a PreSonus TubePre and now I'm having a very tough time getting my vocals to sound right. : (
