Being an old deadhead taper...I have a Sound Devices MP2 (branded as a Shure FP2) external mic pre...love the Lundal transformers for long mic cable runs and have the attenuators needed when all that gain is not required...and a AETA 4MinX all in one mixer/recorder with four channels of the finest analog preamps (it has two channels of digital preamps if you have digital microphones too) to be found on a portable battery powered device...Those are used with MicroTech Gefell M200/M210 and Milab VM44 Phantom powered microphones...all balanced inputs
I have Unbalanced 9v PIP preamps for lower end electret AudioTechnica AT853 microphones running into handheld recorders.
I’ve made really nice recordings with both...one costs approximately ten times as the other...can I say one setup sounds better...absolutely...but not ten times better.
