Okay guys, . just a quick questions, . .I'm struggling here. . .are either one of these pres better than the other, . .or are they pretty much the same quality, . and its a matter of taste? Will one give a bit more warmth, and maybe some slight color for vocals,..over the other? or again is it a matter of preference. . ?

Any objective opinions about these two for vocals. . .? I will probably be using a Yamaha MG series mixer, and I need a unit for some decent phantom power to a condenser, and thought that maybe one of these might give me a bit more warmth, as well as providing me with phantom power. . .Maybe, . .maybe not? I dunno. . .anyone?
Thanks guys.
 
They're both good mic pre's.

Largely because I primarily use dynamic mics, the VTB-1 would be preferred since it's quieter at near/full gain.

The VTB-1 is somewhat "warmer" than the DMP3 as it is darker in coloration.
That will tend to tone down the current crop of budget LD condensers, as they
are usually bright to begin with.

Also be aware the the new Joe Meek 3Q streets for around $200.
Then you'd have an EQ and compression section included.
