Any recommendations on a tube (for vocals) upgrade to replace the standard tube this ART Tube MP?

I use it exclusively for vocals and honestly don't see a need for an upgrade...especially when the unit itself is so inexpensive that I don't see how modifying the tube would be cost effective. Sorry probably not the answer you're looking for.

I use it with an outside parabolic microphone for listening to and recording outside sounds out here in the woods, like owls, wolves, coyotes, all kinds of birds, et c.

I have been using the ART Tube as is (no upgrades) for about a year, and I love it. I use it on both voice and guitar and it really gives me more sound, and a warmer sound, to work with and shape. I have not used a high-end pre-amp before so the ART my actually be horrible in comparison but ignorance is bliss and it sounds good to me.

This upgrade is for AI/LE versions. The upgrade from v4 is actually a little cheaper and can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Steinberg-Cubase-7-5-Upgrade/dp/B00B6MNWDS

I found the information for compatible tubes at tube depot.com. I replaced the Chi-com tubes with Tung Sol. Here are the tubes I used: Power tubes: EL34B - Pre Amp tubes: 6SL7G. I also got a Sovtek 5AR4 for the rectifier. The sound is different with the replaced tubes. Something more spacious and dynamic than the originals. But different tubes give different results. Hope that helps.

I am using a LIne 6 Spider Valve 112 - the front end modelling on these is pants, but it has a quality Bogner 40W all valve poweramp and Celestion Speaker. The new version apparently has an improved preamp and is holding its value better, but the older ones can be picked up quite cheap (£150 or less). Its a good fit for a decent modeller.

Hello It's Sonar-LE and Can be upgraded, allthe all the way to Sonar Producer, but it's a fully working version as is. Thanks from 8thstreet Music

Shouldn't be a problem at all. I would definitely get the radio shack power supply others recommend in the reviews, and I switched out the stock tube with a Mullard so now this baby sings! Hope this helps.

For podcasting the preamps on the 44VSL should be good enough to give your voice enough body to sound great. The tubpre is good for vocals and instruments since it utilizes a tube and can be over-driven. Also the tube tends to "warm up" your voice, making it sound more like you're using a full amp. I love the tubepre, but I use it for vocals with an AT2020 condenser mike. If you feel your voice is a bit too flat or just needs an extra boost... then this little baby would be perfect, but its all preference at that point. What do you feel your voice is missing?

I can't say if if their will be a big diff. but there will be a difference in richness of sound, if you get a better tube it will be even better.

Nope.Tube amps need the speaker load.There are special headphones that have a dummy load so you don't blow up the headset.The Special 6 is a great amp that benefits from an inexpensive Dano EQ pedal if you're using it for guitar.

As others have suggested, connect the line-out on the pre-amp to the audio-in of the Little Dot and you are good to go. And for another winning combination, I would recommend the MUSES02 op-amp and a pair of Ei 6HM5 tubes (EF95-compatible).

An MC cart wouldn't work. This receiver has a MM (moving magnet) input (same as my current receiver). To use an MC (moving coil) cartridge you would need a phono pre amp and connect it through the line/aux input. An MC cartridge has much lower output. BIG upgrade though IMHO.

Get one of these: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/rolls-pm50s-personal-monitor-amp?rNtt=rolls&index;=1 and have the tech get you a line level monitor mix up to your kit. You'll be in HEAVEN. :-)

EBAY. I bought new tubes on Ebay because the tubes that are installed by the manufacturer aren't the best. The tube model should be on the product page on amazon. But for $20-$40 you can definitely improve the warmth of your amp.

I do have cubebase LE 5 as well but since I got this I never use the PC that has the 5 version. This is so much better in terms of interface, sound, the VST instrument (hailon se), more options, control over the whole recording process.. It is worth the upgrade..

Only if you want the audio to have all sorts of buzz and noise on it... For the cheapest available "acceptable" quality (for casual use) interface, I would suggest the Behringer UCA202. It's not great, but at least it's relatively clean-sounding, especially compared to this.

Steve, the recording quality was very bad and we ended up returning the unit. My older sister has an immense album collection we want to convert but we are still looking for a good quality converter and have yet to find one. This has been some years now since we started looking. good luckmc

Any updates on this guys? Do you know if 1, all 3, or none of these tubes support EF-S?
