this looks pretty wicked....someone lend me some cash?

[Chinagraf]

I'm going to buy one for my talkback mic...

[jkhuri44]

sounds like you have enough money to get me one for normal use then. My pay pal is....

[Chinagraf]

Oh for sure, I'll buy you one out of my royalties from Spotify..

Interesting but I wonder whether "at last, it is the microphone that determines the sound – not the preamp or the converter" is necessarily / always a good thing?

[jkhuri44]

when you're recording classical, or any other music striving for realism, i reckon yeah this could be pretty sick.

[Text_Edifice]

That's the application but wonder if you'll actually end up with something that's 'better'.

Do you think that bit depth / the dynamic range of converters or the degree of 'distortion' introduced by pre-amps is currently a bottleneck limiting realistic sound?

Maybe I'm just being cranky.

I find it funny that a web site flogging high definition audio gear has horribly grainy low-res images.

I just love the word "entwicklungsgesellschaft".

Think it's an interesting idea though – am envisioning itb preamp 'models' or similar if the tech became more widely adopted.

[jkhuri44]

in my opinion...the quieter a noise floor, the more you can concentrate on the realism of a performance, and the smaller details of the quiet parts of a performance can come through.

This is less important for artificial and or non natural recording styles, but for classical and such, i reckon it's sicknuts.

Yes... if I could only get those noisy audience members to remove themselves from the concert before I start recording, that would be great The quiet passages are usually dominated by coughs, chair scrapes, passing traffic etc.

[jkhuri44]

i want hi fidelity whispers

[mylesgm]

I piss off the audience... in all the ways you want to take that statement, well not all.
I'm interested but can't see myself buying one till be!@#$%^& make an affordable version...

The ability to share the pre amp independently of other users gain settings is what makes this technology great.
