I have a Art MPA Gold upgraded with mullard tubes that I really like. Works great as a DI and as my vocal pre. Unfortunately, it appears one of the channels died, and this is just the excuse I need to get a new vocal preamp to add to the studio. I have about $500 bucks to spend.
I am open to just about any suggestions in that price range. Two of the main contenders are more in the 600-700 range (the Grace 101 and the P-solo). Anyone have any experience with either of those?
If you want to try the Neve sound in your price range, the Golden Age Pre-73 is a really good way to go. I've had mine for about 4 years and really like it.
