One cool thing about the DMP3 is that it offers the full (66 db, I believe) gain on the high impedance inputs, which was the main reason I bought one. I'm a mad scientist at heart, and plug all kinds of low-output stuff (piezo ribbons, tape heads, whatever transducers I can find to play with) into those things, and none of the other preamps I was looking at had this feature. The thing turned out to be pretty decent all around, though, even does a good job on the output of a cheap ribbon microphone. The lo-cut filters sound weird to me (like some kind of phase thing going on) but other than that, it's great. (Oh, and if, like me, you don't like the glaringly bright UV meter illumination, a 100-ohm resistor between the bulb and power lead will reduce it to a nice warm glow, if you're into voiding warranties ;) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
