If anyone hear likes to practice their singing and want to tweak their voice, you need a good tube pre amp for your microphone. One of my hobbies is practicing my singing in the basement and sometimes on open mic nights.

For less than $50, you can get this awesome budget product that will make your voice sound better than singing directly into a PA system. Your voice will noticably sound more natural and warm and less sterile. It's common for the voice to sound flat when it's directly into the mixing board. It takes just one 12AX7 tube. I've had mine for about 2 years and still enjoy it. Sing your favorite songs with this little tube pre amp without breaking the bank!

Just found out that you can get this for less than $40 at Amazon.com. A great bargain. Amazon.com: ART Tube MP Professional Mic Preamp/Processor: Electronics

EDIT: The construction is excellent too and built like a tank as it should be, since music insturments can take a beating on the road.

back when i first joined head-fi, i had this, got it for $99 back then. came asking if it could be a headphone amp (not unless you like it mono and in one channel!) looking back i should have kept it, since i'm full circle now and am currently using an M-Audio DMP3, which is nice for dual-input use but yeah, not too tubey.
