If A Tube Mic has its own Power Supply is A Micpre Necessary

Forums

Greetings and salutations to all you recording enthusiasts. I'm gonna be purchasing an SE z5600a tube mic preamptty soon. Thing is i've acknowledged that fact that it does come with its own power supply which can provide 48v of phantom power. My question is will a seperate mic preamp(Grace Design 101) be necessary to juice up the mic?

$399 or less single channel Tube mic preamp

Forums

I'm looking for a single channel tube mic preamp for $399 or less. I know I'm asking for a lot without having to resort to a starved plate design. I don't mind shopping used if need be. It'll be used on vocals and mic'd electric guitar.

I'd love to go for the UA Solo/610, but at $800 it's a bit out of my range.
