can i ask what your setup is like??

tube pre-amps are a very good thing to have in a studio.... but could your money be better spent elsewhere???

do you have a decent soundcard yet?? i know you say your getting lg moniters, but which ones??

spending all that dough on a pre-amp when the rest of your equipment aint up to scratch would just be a waste mate

not tryin to put you on a downer mate, just being honest

why would i need a new sound card? like, whats wrong with a normal one..? ive got fuck all of a studio, i just wana some frickin tube!

 

[MARLZTAH]

running the sound out of your computer through a rubbish soundcard, into the pre-amp, and back into the cheap soundcard will not do the sound any good

using a tube preamp should boost the quality giving it some analog warmth.... which will be totally destroyed by the cheap d/a converters on the soundcard

why dont you spend half the money on a preamp, and the other half on a soundcard???

this is a popular preamp thats half the price...

ooooh, i see!
btw.. just to clear this up, tube is the same as the tube distortion you get in vst's right?

 

[MARLZTAH]

if you overdrive it yeah.... if you just want it for distortion, tbh honest your probably better off with plugins
