Hey bud, yes I am still using the DAVs, the only difference is now I am using them exclusively. (I was using some pendulum mic pres and one other pre, the electronaut)but now I am using these preamps on everything, all the time. I love what it has done for my recordings, a more cohesive sound, the DAVs sweeten things up, but have all the detail in the world, super quiet.. you know what it reminds me of,...Tape. Sweetening and Large soundstage, euphonic ;I will never use anything else.
