Actually you are right Freddy G. at first listen the Apex 460 can be impressive however i did notice when i started using it more for recording that it took a lot more tweaking to try and make it fit in a mix in which with the right mic there should hardly be any EQing etc. made and it should just almost naturally fit into a mix..I think i have better results with my Shure SM58, 56s and RE-15s...Thanks for your reply.

just made a spectacular female vocal recording with a shure SM57. The impedance of the preamp makes all the difference to this mic though

What preamp? Yeah, female vocals can be done with a 57, but with a good combination of the female vocalist, preamp, and performance.

I tried a 57 and 58 on a female vocalist a few months ago. Didn't work? 57/58's fault? Not really. The female's vocals were just "too pure" for a dynamic. The SM7b didn't work either, so I ended up going with the Royer MA-200.

Ahh, good job! I saw that in your list, but now explains why there was no brand name attached to it.

Damn, 8 channel tube preamp with variable impedance. You wouldn't happen to make one with lightpipe output would you?

I've actually thought about it...but after looking into it building AD conversion is very,very tricky
