ART Pro Channel Preamp Tube replacements

I have had this ART Pro Channel in my studio for years now and I would like to breath some new life into it. I ordered and installed Ei 12AX7 Elites and TungSol 12AX7 [ NEW PRODUCTION] tubes only to find that both had issues. The Ei's had +17 dB noisefloor over baseline factory tube. The TungSol tube has a bad harmonic distortion at about 300hz.

PreSonus Tube Pre?

Does anyone have any experience with these? I've heard good things about them but am starting to get very skeptical about all this pro-sumer recording gear.

In short I recently bought a Firebox and have now realized that is has pretty wimpy pres... I'm thinking the TubePre might be a quick/cheap fix for me until I can afford a soundcard in a higher price range.

Thx

Antares Tube Preamp modeling

Hey guys, I was wondering about Antares Tube Preamp modeling. But I have no idea what a tube preamp is... I was very happy with Antares Microphone Modeling (which actually turns my 100 dollar Behringer B-1 into a Neumann U47).

So can someone please explain to me please in the simplest of ways what this Tube Pre-amp modeling will do to my vocals?
