Default Suggestions for mic pre using TLM 103
I use PT primarily to record fingerstyle acoustic guitar. I have a Neumann TLM 103 that I run through a Taylor K4 equalizer. I am interested in adding a mic pre to polish up the sound of acoustic guitar. Any suggestions?

My Avalon collects dust due to the ADL. It's amazing for EVERYTHING.

If I'm doing AC Guitar I run my TLM 103 and a U87ai into the ADL and it sounds fantastic!

+1 on the ADL600

I rented one for a month and I don't want to bring it back! It sounds awesome on vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, fiddle, percussions...

I must say the clarity is amazing and transparent. For the price you pay for some of the other high end pre's you really get your money from this one.

No color, 2 channels, class a, 6 tubes...Simply one of the best preamps I have ever used. Made heavy duty as well and looks great in the rack.
