Again... Perhaps you should address Stoctony with your post and tell him what preamps you recommand in other to make the V77 work. IMO, Marshall Electronics makes cheap Chinese budget mics.Han said:

DJL--the V77 is a toob mic and doesn't need a preamp.
the V67 does need a preamp, and is what most folks have been "dissing" lately, and sells for about 1/4 the price of the V77. the V77, by all accounts, is a pretty nice mic (regardless of "for the money" or "for cheap chinese mics").
just want to make sure we're all talkin about the same mics here....
cheers,

Wow, that's a pretty interesting thing to know. I didn't realize it had a built-in gain structure.
Does it have like a little volume knob on it or something? That would be pretty cool.

Excuse me, but where did you get the idea that mic pres cease to be important with a "tube mic"? Are you of the assumption that the power supply for the tube mic somehow negates the need for a decent pre?
Please explain that statement.

ummmm.....yeah.....the knob's on the power supply......i didn't realise that made them so cool.
did you skip your morning medication today chessrock? :b b/c it's not usual that you're picking nits about people assuming that people know that toob mics need power supplies and that a plain jane preamp won't cut it........hence my comment about "it doesn't need a preamp". next time i won't assume we're all on board with how a toob mic operates here.
and DJL, i addressed you b/c you were the one who i seemingly thought was mistaking the V67 for the V77 and i wanted to make sure that you and Han were on the same page, lest we end up with ugliness due to miscommunication. i could really care less whether any of you buy or even like any of these mics.
cheers,

ok, hang on folks. this is gonna get out of hand lest i start talking quickly and correcting what i've been leaving out.
YES pres are still needed with tube mics. mea culpa--sorry for misleading any of you and making myself look like a jackass. my point is simply that JUST a preamp won't make a tube mic work--nothing more, nothing less.
serves me right.........posting on this board (and rushing through writing posts) when i should be working instead.

Why don't you just admit that you didn't know how a tube mic works?
You thought the power supply acted as a mic pre.
I think that's kind of cute, and nothing you should be ashamed of, dude. No need to try and back-track.

Just for clarification, I am the one who questioned your statement about mic pres not being an issue for a tube mic. Perhaps you are confusing mic pre with phantom power.

You know, there's an Edit function, don't ya Wade?

yes, i'm aware of the edit button. i just don't believe in using it after someone's replied to your post.......b/c then you go and edit it and you get all manner of confusion as to what someone said versus what they said they said, etc., etc. how many times have we seen a reply that made no sense b/c someone edited their original post?much better, IMO, to leave the "bad" post as is and clarify later.....and MUCH more fun once the hounds are after you
to me, when you go editing posts people have already replied to, it looks like you're trying to hide things you said and didn't want to admit to having said. i'll bone up for having said rash, boneheaded things like the above rather than looking like i'm trying to cover up something through an edited post. anyway, what was that i said about not being here during work anymore?

Wade, you have a point!
In a way you are right Wade, the Neumann M149 toob mic doesn't need a pre.
It is so hot that you can put it into line level.
Now you can say: told you guys!
