Hello again, don't have the chance to come here often but love reading through the threads when I can.
Ok, concerning my newly acquired 388. I've been told some conflicting things about the preamps. I have read that the preamps in the 388 are of good quality and thus should feel no need to upgrade. Then again I've been told a modern day preamp can give me much better quality, especially for vocals and acoustic instruments. What do you 388 users advise? Will buying a "decent" preamp improve my already good quality recordings? or not worth it? and if so any recommendations? Also, how do I bypass the preamps in the 388? just turn the trim down?
Thanks much!
