Indeed. I'd like to know if Tynan has a particular benchmark tubed mic
pre that he likes already.

I'll look it up)

Yes, Graham. I like the pendulum MDP-1 mic pres, the VAC RAC(which I guess
a lot of folks have not heard of), the Ampex 300 recorder amps, and Pultec
tube preamps. (of course all the designs ive seen for the pUltec amps were
"one-offs", and never saw any model numbers, unlike the outboard processors
(eq/comp, etc)..which did have model #s)
If I could have the "300 sound" with a touch less noise, id be in heaven.
those sound perfect to these ears.
the VAC RACs are amazing too, but noone has heard of em.
schematics for some vintage things...
