I prefer the ULN-8's pre's to both my Millenia and Avalon pre's. I know there's been a lot of talk about the ULN-8's pre's, but the Orpheus pre's don't suck either. Sound quality on both boxes makes me cry.

I also have an Apogee Duet and any good preamp through it will give you professional quality vocals. Not quite up to Orpheus and ULN-8 quality, but very very good. I've recorded keepers at 44.1k on the Duet. If you record at 88k or 96k, you're not missing much for sound quality.
