Found this fantastic comparison between Warm and Clear amps, so I thought I'd share. Here's a head to head comparison with a clear amp (Focusrite ISA One) and a warm amp (WARM WA12) side by side. The difference is NIGHT AND DAY plus both pres are high quality and well made. Warm Audio WA12...

Well, looks like I'm going for the GAP 73! Thanks everybody! One last question, how's the GAP 73 Deluxe model? Is it worth spending the extra money for? Does the Deluxe version add more warmth and character than the standard?

Oh jeez, I didn't know you needed a lunchbox for the Neve. Can't get that right now. :p Okay, so for self powered pre amps, what would you guys recommend for adding a bit of warmth/character to the male voice?

I'm going to be doing male voice overs with my Blue Blueberry mic and I need a great pre amp. It'll be going into a RME Babyface. I'm stuck between the Warm Audio WA12 and the Golden Age Pre73. Which of these would you guys recommend? Since both the Babyface and Blueberry are transparent, I'd...

Darn, it is the P48 model. So it looks like I'll have to get a preamp for it. What's a good preamp that can do directly into my H6, with 1 or 2 channels?

Currently, my ZOOM H6 gets WAY too noisy past the 7 notch mark on the gain dial. Up till 1-6, it's great! But once it hits 7 and above, it gets so darn noisy it's almost unusable. Would getting the Cloudlifter, plugging it into my MKH 416 and ZOOM H6 work? Or would it not be compatible...

I have to buy an XLR cable for recording two things: 1. In a studio for voiceovers and 2. For recording on set film audio. However, I don't know which of these to get. Both are very highly reviewed and both have VERY different price points. The cables in question: Mogami Gold Studio 15...

Well that's what confuses me, they're both cardiod mics. I think the 4053B is a hypercardiod but still.

I got an Audio Technica 4047 mic and an Audio Technica 4053B mic. One is much longer than the other one but they cost about the same. I set both up to record dialogue between two people for a video I was shooting and the 4053B sounded MUCH better than the 4047. The 4047 sounded like I was in a...

Right, so would the RME Babyface be good?

I have a Blue Blueberry mic but no interface yet.

I'll be recording indoor dialogue this weekend and I wanted to get your thoughts. Which would provide the best quality and sound? Is the 8050 worth the higher price point? Thank you for reading. :)

So what would you plug the Robbie itself into? You couldn't plug it directly into the Babyface? Also, what of the quality between the two? Which has better preamp quality?

I'm looking to get the most out my microphone and these two seem quite highly regarded. Between the two of them, which has the better preamps and quality? Is the Robbie worth the extra $200? Thank you for reading. :)

I'm considering getting a Warm WA-12 pre amp for either a AT 4047 or a Mojave MA 201 for voice overs, both fairly warm mics. My question is, since the WA-12 is known for warming up sound, will that make the recording TOO warm? Since I'm combining a warm mic with a warm pre amp, will that cause...
