Colin- I have entertained the thought of changing out the tube in my preamp, but have yet to do any kind of research on it. I am sure a quick web search would turn something up as these are fairly popular.

Daklander- I will put some time into researching what different preamps may help me. Thanks for the advice on the V67i I will look into them.

Mark- My preamp is the ART Tube MP (professional processor series). It is basically the cheapest preamp I could find that had any kind of good reviews. I'll look into the mics you mentioned and see which ones pique my interest. Thanx

Have any of you used the MXL9090 mics? They claim to be similar to the V67i.
