$500.00 and under you're fairly limited $500.00 to $1,000.00 there are quite a few that are good. What is your real budget?

I needed a mic pre-amp but wanted to keep it cheap so bought one of these

It works for what I need. Has phantom power for my condensers. No idea how it compares to those listed above.

The FMR RNP Microphone Preamp above is a really good choice.

If you need more features for multi-use (such as compressing a snare on the way in), the ART Pro Channel is a very nice unit. It has all the right things and sounds really good (I love its compressor)...its only drawback is that it is not built as well as a more expensive unit.

I use mine a lot for more aggressive male vocals...it does the job really well there.
