| Vocal recording --- mic&pre! I will buy my first mic and first pre next month, so I have been reading hundreds of messages and of course, the opinion of my favourite sales man, and for the moment I have to choose between: Option A - Vintagedesign M81D + Violet Black Knight Option B - Avalon 737 SP + AKG 414B-XL Option C - Avalon 737 SP + Blue Baby Bottle It would be nice if you could help me to choose between these options, my budget is between 1500€-2000€, and if you have any other idea... write it PLEASE :) |

| Just used your option B tonight and I did not like it that much. Although the 414 sounded better than the TLM 103. I still would look at other preamps, unless you are trying to record people then the Avalon would help you get one or two more clients, |

| if you have been reading for months on this board, I doubt you would have come to the 737 as yoru pre of choice in that price range... the reason it's the opinion of your favorite salesman is b/c it's pretty and he sells them instead of recording with them. I love the avalon, but looking back, would I buy it if I had 2k layign around? ABSOLUTELY NOT I have a 2 mile long list of pre's that I'd buy befoore that. |

| Agreed. I doubt you will find a big number of engineers that would recomend the 737 in that price point. Get an A Designs Pacifica.
