tube mic preamp

[wsaraceni]

i'm thinking of building a tube mic preamp. anyone have any experience? i have a lot of parts left over from my express build and would probably buy some more. im wondering if it can be done for like 400-500 bucks or even less maybe.

cant seem to find too much on the net though

A good tube pre will use (relatively expensive) input and output transformers, but should still come in within your budget. Lots of good schemos on freeinfosociety, etc.

Also, check out this one-bottle mic pre at GroupDIY. Look in the Meta-Meta for other projects.

Jensen transformers has some great app notes and partial schematics as well.

If you want the real deal you can do no netter than a kit from Scott Hampton. Check out his website at Hamptone.com. I have built anumber of these units both the tube and the jfet with and with out precison step attenuators. Its just mind blowing how good these mic pres are.
