Ok my friend wants to know which one he should get. The vtb-1 preamp or the yamaha mg102. I told him probably the preamp. But I'm kind of dislike Studio Projects though I own the VTB-1 myself. Reason only those, cause he only has $100 to spend. He'll be recording on mainly on 1 channel using the MXL 990 mic I gave him, into a M-Audio Fast Track USB (not the greatest...) He'll mainly need it for phantom power & is concerned about which to get that could better his quality of sound. I've suggested that he might get a better sound card or recording interface, or the Presonus bluetube, but he doesn't have enough money, and if he got say the 24/96 than he will still need a preamp etc etc... so it came down to purchasing the VTB-1 or the MG102....
