So, I own an interface/preamp. Older ART USB Dual Pre.
I like it well enough for what it is. Go back even farther when I was younger, more careless, I owned more gear. I used to have a Bellari tube pre, which was sold long long ago. I liked it, I just dropped out of music stuff, and needed money.
I do enjoy how tubes can color sound. I'm looking at getting another pre. Tube. There's some that are an interface as well, like the Mic500 from Behringer, and ART makes a tube pre/ interface. There's also Behringer Ultra Gain Mic100, ART has a couple tube pres. There's also the possibility of buying a used Bellari again, used Pre-Sonus (though they don't seem to get positive reviews). Then there's the Golden Age Project Pre 73 that seems to get a lot of love.
A lot of this is sub $100, and I think all of the named bits are under $350, with the Pre73 at the top of the cost stack. It's also the only non-tube one that's caught my eye. I'm not jumping into any fast choice. Been youtubing a bunch of reviews and demos. Liking the idea of adding something into the chain.
