well I just had a quick question for you fellow GS's
I have an

Avalon 737sp and I'm really not feeling it.... It feels very thin for a tube pre-amp. I am in the market for an API 3124+ mainly for drums but I don't know if it would also be better than the Avalon on Vocals. I mainly use a Neumann TLM 49 for Vocals and I dont understand why it sounds so weak. I feel like I spent way to much money for the Avalon. I am also considering a Neve pre. My main preoccupation is on the Vocals not really the drums, (even though it is very important as well). I would like to hear everyone's opinion, mainly those that have tried the avalon compared to the others. The Pacifica also calls my attention.
