    Best Mic Pre under $300 Poll..

    Hi. My GAP PRE73 is the stock unit. I haven't had enough time to give either of these a real workout yet but on initial tests they both sound great with the PRE73 having more mojo going on with the extra transformer. I'm in the middle of having my studio overhauled and am getting a vocal booth...

    Best Mic Pre under $300 Poll..

    I used to have a Focusrite TrakMaster pro and have to say I much much prefer my GAP PRE73!! I also have a Focusrite ISA One that I absolutely love aswell. I've just tried the GAP PRE73 on vocals and the results are very impressive! I love the thickness and weight that it adds!! I am looking...

    ART Headamp 6, Samson S-Phone 4 vs Behringer HA4700?

    Hi, Does anyone know how either the ART Headamp 6 or Samson S-Phone 4 compare to the Behringer HA4700 in audio quality wise? I've looked at other models by Presonus, Rane and Mackie and either they don't have the features I need or the Presonus HP60 has the power switch on the back which isn't...

    DMP3, True P-Solo, Grace M101, Mico

    What I meant was the ISA One's tone is said to be in between the PRE73 and the P-Solo.

    any preamp suggestions for around £500/ $900

    Both the Chameleon Labs 7602 and Golden Age Projects PRE73 have been getting rave reviews all over the net as Neve type preamps. I've just ordered a PRE73 (£219 + £15 p&p or buy 2x PRE73 and get free rackmount tray) to go with my Focusrite ISA One from here :-...

    DMP3, True P-Solo, Grace M101, Mico

    I've just ordered a PRE73. Seems like a real bargain for £219. I have listened to various audio clips and read stacks of glowing reviews and thought stuff it - gotta be worth a try!! Am thinking of picking up a Grace M101 or True Systems P-Solo later in the year. That way I can have all bases...

    DMP3, True P-Solo, Grace M101, Mico

    Ideally I would quite like to have a PRE73 and a P-Solo but funds don't stretch to this as I'm spending quite a bit on acoustics and other various stuff. At the moment I'm selling my Tampa and MLA and when I receive the funds I will probably get a secondhand P-Solo or PRE73 depending on what's...

    Still haven't bought a pre yet as I've just got the upgrade to Cubase 5. What I would like to and up with is 3 channels of decent pres! The ISA has 2 ( one for XLR and one for DI ) and I would like a third channel. I would like to be able to record vocals, electric/upright bass and...

    Has anyone tried the Audient pres?

    Any more thoughts or experiences with any of these pres?

    DMP3, True P-Solo, Grace M101, Mico

    I noticed that the Mico cost over $1000 originally and dropped to around $799. This is quite a bit more than the True Systems P-Solo $499 and Grace M101 $565. Maybe this has something to do with why the True Systems and Grace pres are more talked about? Especially as there are SO many threads...

    DMP3, True P-Solo, Grace M101, Mico

    Thanks for the reply. What I would really like is to use the DI for guitars and maybe the preamp for brass or certain vocals.

    DMP3, True P-Solo, Grace M101, Mico

    Wow I hadn't heard this before. I thought the MLA8 had the good pres in it? The MLA7 pres are ok but I would prefer a few extra features such as HP filter because not all my mics have this and is handy on certain vocalists. I am looking to use the new preamp for recording Acoustic/Electric...

    DMP3, True P-Solo, Grace M101, Mico

    Sorry to resurrect this thread! I'm still pretty interested in the Audient Mico. I was speaking to a well respected reviewer and he says it's on par with the DAV BG1. His impressions were that they are both very clean pres but the DAV sounds a little bigger but is noisier. I also spoke to...

    Thoughts on Studio Projects T3?

    I've been looking around for a budget tube mic and some of the mics I've been considering are :- Apex 460 MXL v69 I've recently been given the opportunity to buy a Studio Projects T3 secondhand for less than what either of these would cost new. How does the Studio Projects T3 compare to...

    Need a Preamp with S/PDIF for Mbox 2

    For that budget I'd recommend the Tampa. It's not a bad budget preamp. I found it to be much quieter than the ART MPA Gold (even with NOS tubes). I can't think of any other decent preamps in this price range with spdif. There is the DBX 386 and Aphex 207d which have this but they are more...
