Any One Using A Tube Mic Just picked up the MXL Tube Mic the first one from a few years back.. V69 Tube Mic It sounds nice but makes noise,it's noisy .. I replaced the tube with a new better one and it's still there. If the gain is low it's okay but when you raise the fader on the board you can hear it.. R all tube mics this way, this is my first if you can believe that?  Mike, I have not read each and every reply so this may have been addressed. If so, I apologize. #1, tube mics are, inherently, a bit noisier. It's the nature of the beast in relation to solid state. #2, replacing the tube with a newer tube does not always mean it's a better tube. I don't know what tube is in that mic but you might look for a NOS tube of the same number and see if that makes a difference since the old tubes are better simply because of the way they were built. #3, check solder joints
