GT 66 into focusrite or board pre (modded soundcraft), no EQ no nuttin, post Comp with dbx 163x if any. Haven't found anything it sounds bad on.
Other than that a modded V67G or one of my supermodded Oktava 319's which sound awesome but are soild state, when I need that sound. V67G is a bit more high end emphasis, not much, just a little.

What is this "low noise mod" for the Aphex 107 you speak of?

Omni 012 or 4033 > EH 12AY7 > 1814FW (w/BLA converters)

4033 > ZED14 > 1814FW more and more lately

Pro VLA when compression is desired.

Lots of love for the ZED14 pre's

most recently it is either a MXL V69 with NOS tube (for dark/warm) or Blue Dragonfly (present, upfront, airy) --> Hamptone JFet --> LA-4

Super flexible

Either...

Soundfield MkV into SSL channel with light desk comp to AD16x

or

Brauner VMA into Cranesong Phoenix (although i prefer API 512c) into SSL channel to AD16x...

Peace

I tracked some pretty good sounding vocals lately with:
Lomo M1/mc012 > HHb Radius 50 w/ NOS telefunken tube (input cranked pretty strongly) > Aardvark converters. No compression, and just a touch of High-pass eq.

Usually a Lomo 19A19.
Sometimes a Shure SM7
Rarely a Coles 4038
Really rarely an EV666

Into a

Usually a Telefunken V72
Sometimes a Neve 1272
Rarely a Quad Eight

Into a

Almost always an ELOP.

On rare occasion the mic goes straight into a GE UniLevel. It's got so much gain it needs no pre. It's got a FAT grind to it so sometimes it WORKS!! But usually it's too much.

The convertor is an Apogee Rosetta set to 88.2 into Nuendo.

Red Type A w/R7 cap>UA m610>Drawmer 1968(maybe)>Nuendo.

Home studio:
SM7B or RE27n/d > ART Voice Channel (pre & comp integrated)

On the road:
AKG C3000B > Shure X2U > Steinberg Multicompressor

Most often a Wunder CM7 into a Voxbox...although I do have one client who insists on using the same mic with a Wunder PEQ1 and a Vari-Mu. Sounds great on his voice.

i hope to get an R84 some day. Heard it in a studio i was interning in....and I've been saving ever since.

Just did a bunch of R84-> old Ampex pre vocals. Worked out really well. Also had a great time with the Bock 195 into a Daking Mic Pre One. Those have been the home studio thingies lately. At work, it's been U87->GML 2020.

The mic varies At4050, TLM 103, Blueberry, Fathead II, Beyer M160,
Pres: Usually a modded Yamaha PM1K or Dan Alexander 1272 unless I'm using the Fathead then it might be a Scully 280. Then on into an ART Pro VLA or TF Pro P38 but as always whatever seems or sounds appropriate.

Last year I used an Audix i5 through a Universal Audio 6176 and it was just perfect but a lot of it was the singer and the whole old school punk vibe they were looking for.

AT4047 or SM7 or MD1 or C4000B -> Great River Mp-500nv -> Retro Sta Level.

Sometime I like the API 512c, but more often I turn to the Great River.
