Has anybody had any experience with this dual channel pre? It's only $250 and i was thinking of using with a pair of rode's NT5s for overheads on the drums? Any suggestions?

Hi

I own a RODE NTK mic, and am not that happy with the sound. It's brittle, and not very focused.

I would love to get a better mic, but the budget is a little restrictive. So instead, I ordered a replacement tube for the mic, in the hope that I could improve the sound.

The tube I chose was a NOS Philips E88CC/6922 SQ from Holland.

Anyone use this? How does it compare to the SP VTB-1 or the Brick?

I'm planning on buying a new mic to replace my old AKG C3000 (Can you say; harsh?)

I will be using in mainly on vocals (male).
Pre will be a GT Brick.

I would like to have a tube mic as I like vocals to be round and creamy.

Along with the Apogee Big Ben, I purchased what may be the best value in a tube mic on the planet ($499.) the Cascade v55 valve tube mic is nothing short of amazing and truly able to keep pace with name brands costing well over $1,000.

Dear RO brothers (and sisters, if you're there),

I just posted a thread in the Vocal Booth section concerning a new microphone, but since it's really a hardware issue, I thought I'd toss a link to it here. Very appreciative if you had a peek:

First of all: Recording.org rocks the nation.

Now, Secondly: I want to kill my new mic! I received it four days ago. Have a look.

This baby comes, as said, with its own power unit. A seven pin XLR connects the mic to the power unit. A three pin XLR connects the power unit to your input device (in my case an M-Audio Solo).

Sorry for all these noob questions. But ive deciced to buy a Behringer Tube Ultragain MIC100 heres some infomation on it http://www.Behringer.com/MIC100/index.cfm?lang=ENG ok now i want to plug this into the microphone plug on my sound card which is the mini plug i think basiclly what a walkman uses.

I just purchased the lawson L251 tube mic to replace my Neumann TL103. I have a ten day trial on this mic. Out of the box, i have to say that i am not reallying hearing a huge difference between the two mics. and i might even say that i am really disappointed. My signal path is the mic directly into an Avalon M5 then into my MOTU 2408.
