Mic Pre Amp, any suggestions? Options

[visualmusic]

I'm in the market for an affordable mic preamp. I would say between $200-$300. I use and M-Box to record, but the preamps are way to weak.

Anyone have some suggestions?

Thanks

RME quad mic is a good mic pre but you really need to go listen to them.
i good preamp will make mic sound alot better i think you might be better of saving a lil more up and spending it on a better mic pre amp like great river electronics. and just make do with the mic pre you have we run the mbox at my college it does the job i know it doesn't let you push it all that much. the rme quad mic is suppose to be good RME-audio.com go for a seperate pre amp for sure another one to look at is A Design Audio - Mic pres there more expensive but the thing is the ones that are cheap may not be as good as the mbox or worse .
i hope that helps ..
but i know its hard when you got a buget . music's so darn Xexy
