HI:
Interesting problem. I have used both the tube MP and the dual tube MP and have found these to be pretty sensitive. Here's an atempt at further trouble-shooting:
1) Is the mic turned on (I think the C1000s have a resessed on/off switch.)?
2) Try recording anyway (with the settings for input and output cranked). What does it sound like?
3) If little or no sound goes to tape --- You could have either a faulty tube MP or a faulty microphone (or cable).
Make sure everything is actually on and running. Make sure you're singing, playing, or speaking fairly loudly into the microphone. Try other microphones for comparison. Try other pre-amps if you have them (like the unbalanced ones on the Tascam). One thing I have always found with audio --- You can find the answer to every question, just be patient and objective.
