Hi there, i am after a decent cheap pre amp, maybe something with a valve, i want to get a warmer signal, can anyone reccomend anything, i am currently using a behringer ada8000, which is not bad but i am looking for a preamp that give off a more distinctive sound.

Can anyone give me a few names of some decent 2nd hand stuff?

I was also looking at a TUBE ULTRAGAIN T1953or a ART Tube MP Studio V3, i was planning to swap the tubes around with some better ones in each, i heard can make a big improvement.

Anyone got any ideas, i have about 200 maximum to spend or 100 each for 2 channels of preamp, thats english pounds

thanks

"Cheap" and "tube" in the same paragraph leads to "crap" in the next.

Almost every classic "warm" sounding preamp out there is solid state - API, Amek, Neve, etc. Cheap tube ("toob") preamps are marketing hype.

FMR's RNP - Grace Design's 101 - True's P-Solo - All three "budget friendly" *and* excellent sounding preamps (none of which use tubes). Yes, they're over your budget.

Rane's MS1b, M-Audio's DMP3 on the other hand...
