Avalon will work just fine. You could probably get the sound you want for less money though. Chandler has a new pre called the Germanium that got a good review in tape op that may cost less than an M5. Chameleon audio pres also got good reviews in the latest tape op. They're cheap. I haven't heard either. If I were you I'd get a good mic before a good pre. What's the point of amplifying a crap mic really well?
