Welcome back! Yes, the less stuff in the audio path the better IMO.
I've made a change as well with the addition of the Neumann U87. I'm still doing some adjusting, but so far I like the sound.
Anyway! I've changed a few things in my chain. Most importantly, I now go straight from my pre to the interface, bypassing the mixer. Wow! Wish I'd done that sooner. The sound clearly opened up. The only drawback is a slight delay, about 24 ms when I'm monitoring, but it's ok.
Everyone should do this, if they have the option.
The Avalon M5 is selling for around $1575.00. I've seen the on Ebay go for around $500 or $600. Remember is just a preamp with no processing. I know Joe Cipriano uses one with either the Urei LA3 or LA4.
By the way, the Avalon M5 is solid state (no tubes). The Avalon 737 is the one with the tube preamp.
Eric M: Here's a link that should answer your question about the 12ax7 tubes...
