A few companies seem to have $100 tube mic > pre's. The preamps in cheap mixing consoles are generally very poor. Standalone preamp is definitely a better idea. I mean something like M-audio DMP3 (two channel solid state, great for stereo recordings) quite or Studio Projects VTB-1 (one channel solid state + tube).
