I've been looking for a good mic preamp for a while now and have noticed the populariry of Tube preamps.
I want to record 'pure' sounds, without any coloration so I presume a tubeamp is not what I should get.
So probably this one (http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/DMP3-main.html) is good for me.
Or should I consider one with digital S/PDIF or USB output ? I find it importand that it is very sensitive, as I often record quiet sounds, no laud sounds (Not music, but sounds to create music with ;) ).
I have an Audio Technica at822 (no phantom power needed), but am considering something like this (http://www.skytronic.co.uk/product/product.php?s=173.844), with it's hight sensivity of -35 dB and ability to create my own stereo field :).
Good idea ?..

If you don't want to add any coloration to your setup I'd avoild tubes, in my experience even the most neutral tubes have a slight coloration.

If anybody happens to have something better / better value for money than the M-Audio DMP3, please tell ;D
