Can you have too many tubes on a track like you can have too

There are lots of good options for budget LDCs and SDCs, just not that many tube mics, under $1000USD. If I thought I needed a tube mic, (that I wouldn't need to modify) I'd look at Mojave and ADK. the Apex isn't all that bad, BTW, and there's a mod for it, LOL

I agree, the sweet spot for budget tube mics is probably going to start at $1000. Telefunken rft, Peluso, Pearlman are probably a few more nice budget tube mics.

I went shopping,lol, and found this deal, it's a demo for $150 off,
http://vintageking.com/peluso-microphon ... -demo-deal
oh, and the mic mission is on also,lol
Spend $1000 or more - Receive a Vintage King Gold Series Studio Microphone Cable - 25' ($49.99 Value) and a K&M 210/9 Microphone Stand - Black ($84.99 Value). A total savings value of $134.98.

The Telefunken Copperhead is $1395, and it's only cardioid. The Peluso has 9 polar patterns, much like the $2000 Telefunken rft series.

Anyway, just sayin' lol

Hi Len,

Thanks for the articles.

I would still need a pre-amp of some kind. I'm not distorting anything. I would be scared to break something.

This might have been what Mojo was implying when he was talking about the merits of solid state.

I'm probably not going to tweak this particular project in post-production. What I record is what I get.

I will keep my eye on when the tubes were made.

Thanks!

Andy, I have to make one of those dynamic mics from a kit before I start rearranging tube mics!
