    Can you blow a preamp input?

    Yeah i've heard of the phantom power issue, and so i've avoided that by running the phantom power on the 1st stage of preamps. Then i don't need to use the phantom power on the 2nd stage devices and i'm not affecting the 1st stage that way. Good advice though, thanks!

    Tube Condenser mic versus Condenser with Tube preamp

    Is there any real difference in sound here? I am using a Rode NT1 with a tube 12ax7 preamp, and it sounds pretty good if you ask me.
