I had both the DMP3 and VTB1 and kept the DMP3. Both are excellent but I found the DMP3 to be a little cleaner and offered a little more detail.

I still find the DMP3 surprisingly good and have heard some fantastic acoustic guitar recordings made with one of these on here. The Audient Mico is also another excellent option. As for single channels the Grace M101 and True Systems P-Solo are excellent options.

You could add a Triton Audio Fethead to the DMP3 :- http://tritonaudio.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=4&id=17&Itemid=33

I owned an ART MPA Gold and upgraded the tubes to NOS Telefunken and GE 5 star. I wouldn't recommend the ART pres for ribbons or dynamic mics as they are the noisiest I've tried. The DMP3 has much less noise.

Hi, How does the Symetrix SX202 compare to the M-Audio DMP3 in tone? Which of these preamps offers the cleanest and least colored tone with good detail?

I read a recent review of the Adam A8x's and the reviewer said that the A8x's would be more suitable for midfield monitoring instead of nearfield? Also, I've noticed that there has been quite a few niggles with these monitors which has put me off them! Looks like I'll be getting the AE22's!

Hi, I'm looking for a new set of monitors and have whittled my choice down to either the Adam A8x or Acoustic Energy AE22's. I will be mixing quite a wide range of music styles from acapella choral, jazz, rock, soul and gospel. My room is 3.5m x 3.2m. I have heard the AE22's here before and...

Which version of Cubase are you using? I'm using Cubase 5.5.1 with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24DSP and am very happy!! What spec do you need from the interface (Ins/Outs, midi, ADAT, spdif, preamps etc)?

Hi, I'm looking to add a small diaphragm condenser to my collection for recording acoustic guitars. My budget is £125 and after doing some looking around my shortlist is :- MXL v67n - £125 Sontronics STC-1 - £115 (including free capsules worth £80) Avantone CK1 - £114 Golden Age FC4 - £69...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone on here has tried the Triton Audio Fethead with the Shure SM7b mic? What are your thoughts/experiences with this combo?

There's no tubes in the P-Solo!

The Grace M101 seems to be highly regarded as a clean preamp :- http://www.gracedesign.com/products/m101/m101.htm Grace also does a channel strip version of this preamp with EQ and compression:- http://www.gracedesign.com/products/m103/m103.htm True systems also make top notch clean preamps...

Hi mshilarious Interesting post!! I have been considering getting my DMP3 modded but wanted some better comparison clips and specs! I've been torn between getting my DMP3 modded or get an Audient Mico.

Here is some info on the mod :- http://www.gearslutz.com/board/new-product-alert/471245-dmp3-mod.html

Within your $200 budget the DMP3 and Rane MS-1s preamps are the way to go! I had a VTB1 and DMP3. I ended up selling the VTB1. Also, as already pointed out, the DMP3 can be modded at a later date to further enhance it's sound!

Hi, I have used a lot of the gear you mention with the same intention to get that famous warm thick vocal sound! I have a Rode NT1a, Golden Age Projects PRE73 and used to own an ART MPA Gold with upgraded NOS Telefunken tubes! From my experience the mic made more of a difference than the...

Thanks for the info. I always thought the API preamps were pretty colored?
