>Hi,
I have a couple of DBX386/376.
You can perform some upgrade to "save" your 586.
First of all find some nice 12AU7 Telefunken tubes.
I use those.
You will have nice DRY and round sound with not much midrange detail but
sort of "analog tape" sound.
For more midrange try the Mullard BVA tubes !
Tubes change the sound on these devices.
I love my DBX.
I did some more upgrade though.
The 376 has an eq section so I changed all polyester caps to WIMA ones.
If your device has a digital output you can put a better converter for -10
in noise level !
wELL THE SPECS SAY SO the actual difference is some db's.
If you use the analog output there is a 5532 output chip.
I have put there the JRC2114 which has better specs and helps ...
Anyway tubes can make a big difference.
I will never sell my dbx's.
For the best vocal preamp (my own experience) is Avalon M5
I like my amek 9098 too which give some extra harmonics to the sound which
is pleasing (NEve sound) but avalon has exceptional punch, bass , and forwards
the sound as alomost as kissing you, so you can imagine what that menas when
you record some great female (if she is a great singer too that helps :)
!
If you ever want to upgrade let me know and I can give you more details.
Regards,
Dimitrios
They go for around 20-30 $ each.
Now there are some nice ones at ebay.de
Then I would

I'm sure my rights have been violated somehow.
Sorry..... I couldn't resist. Things were getting so boring with all these
relavent audio posts and all.
There goes the neighborhood.....
;o)Correction, _one_ terrorist plot foiled. I'm sure there are plenty more already
well into the R&D phase.
