Hello, I'm glad that I found such a wonderful forum for DIY audio things. I'm just starting to get into the world of recording, and am currently working on a 3-tube guitar tube amp.
I'd like to begin work on a very good sounding tube mic-pre. I have tentatively decided on the G9, but without any real knowledge pertaining to the sound quality. All I've read is a few paragraphs saying it was good. Quality components aside (I do what I can), how does it compare to modern 2000 dollar tube mic pre's? I like the fact that I built what I'm using, although the money saved certainly does help. The complexity really shouldn't be an issue, as I am only 17 but my dad has about 30 years experience with electronics and tubes. If you get me started, I'll probably end up detailing my build with pictures or something, I'm pretty computer-savy. So if ya got any suggestions, lemme hear them!
