The new Mackie Onyx pre works fine with any ribbon mic.
If you have an excess of money in your pocket, do buy
one that your dealer reccomends.
If you are recording a very quiet source dont use a ribbon or wait for the
AEA ribbon mic pre which will have ?80 db of gain and not cost too much.
If your source doesn't sound too good get a pre with alot of color or distortion to camoflage (sp?) the source.
