Anybody mod the Studio Projects VTB-1?

I was wondering if there was anything i could about swapping out, like op amps/tubes/transformers, to get even more out of this preamp. Maybe use Burr Browns and Jensens. Possibley swap the Tube for a Mullard or something. If so do you know the part/model numbers? How benificial has your mod been?

Thanks!

I've been searching for a new vocal mic that will be less bright, more detailed, and has more depth and character than my C1.

Is it just me, or do others feel that the Studio projects C1 mic and VTB1 pre really shine as you listen to all the samples using either of them?

I was wondering if anyone has used any of the studio projects
mics as drum overheads and what the results were. Just curious
about how they would sound. Thanks.

I currently own an SP C1 mic.

I like it on a few sources, but overall it seems to impart a metallic sheen to the signal that can easily be overpowering on cymbals, mandolin, steel, and other instruments that are already rich in high frequencies.

How is this mic in comparison to other similarly priced condensor mics for vocals and acoustic instruments? I've been using one for a while and haven't had anything else to compare it to. I'd be interested to hear some other peoples opinions.

What would the best preamp be for the Studio Projects T3. I looking at speding 600-1000$$... and what about for the AT 4040...

Just wondering what you guy's think of the SP C1?
Is it all I hear it is?
Or is it just another "ok" 200 dollar mic.

I'm new here and have not seen any reviews or talk about them. I have seen articals compairing it to some very high-endmics,like the U87.

What do you think?

Hi!
I know that you've been talking about this before...
I've been spending most of my time i the Computing forum since I'm building my first DAW.
Now when I'm almost done I've also spent most of my money on DAW-parts and software. But, I need a pair of monitors for my projectstudio at home, and I need some advice here.

I just bought a Really Nice Compressor. I want to use it with my Studio Projects VTB-1 mic preamp.

The RNC instructions say:
Hooking up the RNC to balanced lines with TRS 1/4" plugs will not work! If the equipment you are connecting the RNC to is balanced, you must first unbalance it and only connect into the RNC with TR 1/4" plugs.
