I purchased a pair of these from Musicians Friend last year since I figured for $29/each it was worth checking them out. With my MXL V63M condenser they both are quiet, but with my SM57 and my Beta58 they are both as noisy as hell.
I've read where some people have modded these ART preamps to improve them but I can't seem to find any information specifically for this particular model. Does anyone know of a place where I can find some information on modding these?
I realize I should not expect much for $30, but if I can make these more quiet they may be nice for running guitars or bass direct.
Also, should I really need anything in addition to the built in pre's on my Presonus Inspire firewire interface? I don't actually *need* the ARTs to get enough gain, all my mics work fine running directly into the Inspire, or so it seems anyway.
