Post by Gary Steele »

How many of you guys have tried this, And is it worth it or not? I'v had many people to ask me this same question. And what would be the best brand of any on the market? Anyone who has this same interest please respond. Lets hear all the Pro's + Con's. Thanks!

Gary, I tried the ART TPS tube preamp before my Nashville 400 and I didn't notice any startling difference in tone. So I took it back.

I think the best difference is to notice, when using one, going right into the power amp.
There a inexpensive tube mike-pre-amps on the market. You should try a behringer, and compare it with other brands...

Gary, you should know better! This topic belongs in Electronics. I'm moving it now.
