Very few sound cards have provision to switch between them allowing you to use one connection for both. Stereo Line-In (blue) is very different from the mono Mic-In (pink). We warn people about those English words. Thinking out loud: maybe I should simply get both and then return the one I don’t want to keep (which could get me in trouble if I don’t want to return any ) Koz already convinced me that I should get a PV6, only thing making me having second thoughts about it is this Art USB Dual Pre which has the advantage of being more portable (it’s small, lighter and can run just from usb power and/or 9V batteries, but still having the option for external power supply). So what began as a choice between which low budget usb mic to get has reached the point of which not-so-low-budget mic preamp interface should I get for my not-so-low-budget non-usb mic… So 7 pages of posts later I went to read back the first posts… and (not surprisingly) I found out that now I’m considering the options I ruled out in the beginning because of the budget… The Art USB Dual Pre name just kicked in again and I’m convincing myself (well I guess I already knew this just was trying to fool myself into too optimistic beliefs) that you can’t get good quality at a very low price… He draped the house in black when it failed because I couldn’t get it working again (output transformer failed – inside the windings). A performer in the shop was using a 1947 Gates tube microphone amplifier for vocal work. All of the actual heavy lifting is modern solid state components.īut that’s just me. It’s just there to create That Robust Tube Sound and that’s it. They don’t amplify anything with the tube. I did take a different tube pre apart once and I was surprised, but not shocked at what I found. Tubes are very fancy light bulbs and they age, change characteristics, and burn out.ĭid your tube amplifier stop working when you dropped it? Did you have to stop and sweep up the glass? He told me and I asked him about changing the tubes. I talked to a tube preamplifier user a while back and asked him how long he had been using his amplifier. Vacuum tubes bought me a great deal of food over the years and I think they’re best left in their grave. I have a natural reluctance to use anything with a vacuum tube in it.
