Ok. I've posted about this before, but haven't done anything yet, other than buy this old tube amp. The unit was pulled from a Zenith mono record player cabinet (circa 1956!). The guy I got it from re-capped it, replaced the weak tubes, and converted the ins and outs to 1/4" jacks. The amp is 15 watts.

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 am looking at getting another affordable tube mic, I have the MXL v77... it's been making a lot of noise as of late. Anyhow, i figure there is something else out there i would like better, something with a little more color would be nice.

has any body ever had experience with this particular preamp? Im looking at getting one. It seems nice from what ive read and includes a compressor, said to be relatively transparents sounding. any input? or perhaps a re-direction?

Here's a review of the Sebatron THORAX valve channel strip at : (Dead Link Removed)

Can there be TOO much tube? If I use a tube mic, am I better off using a channel strip pre, rather than a tube pre?

I am looking at buying this as a tube direct box for recording guitars and bass at home. Would this work? Here's the specs...

Hello,

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?

Greets all,

Kind of a tubular question here. I have my own thoughts on this but want to hear what others think.

Would a hi-fi tube preamp and set of tube power amps be good for driving studio monitors and delivering a flat accurate sound?
