No opinions so far. Hummm, should I take the silence in a negative way?
Opinions? Please?

Microphone Madness seems to be a fairly reputable company so it would probably be good.  I've only used Sound Professionals and soon will have a Church Audio preamp.  I have MM's omni and cardioid lapel mics and they are very good quality.  I wouldn't have a problem trying their preamp if I had some disposable income.

First of all, thanks for your post . Yes, that's how I feel about MM as well. I'm a HLSC-1, a wonderfull mic, so the preamp should be good. I only think strange the fact that I don't read/hear much about this preamp.
Well, I guess I'll have to wait

Microphone Madness is a company that was formed by a former Sound Professionals employee.    $250 is a great deal for a pair of MKE40's or MKE2's, but that is about all I can say for MM.  The SP-PREAMP was designed by Dick Campbell, I doubt the MM preamp is as good of a design.  But who knows....

The Church 9100 preamp is sonically fantastic, on par with many name brand preamps...
my $0.02

Thanks, Javier . I'm considering the 9100 as well. I've only heard great things about it.

I have the 9100>HLSC-1 the results are excellent.  This MM pre gives +40 dB 
Also for stealth applications, I don't think I want two knobs...one is hard enough to mess with.

Two knobs..You're probably right.
Thanks!

I have the SP-PREAMPS-3 and it give up to +50dB of very clean gain.

You can order the MM-preamp with just 1 gain-knob(for both channels) as I did about 2 years ago.
It´s smaller than the Church 9100 preamp and comes with a belt-clip but has no bass-roll-off built in.

Great for stealthing although I hardly ever used it.

Thanks, my friend
How would you compare both units (sound quality)?

From my point of view comparing these 2 preamps wouldn´t be fair as I used both of them only once at different places with different mics etc.

Hi
Would you consider selling your MM pre-amp if you're not using it much?
I'm interested! Please contact me geoanth (at) gmail.com

Hi there,

Well, I'm not considering that because I don't have a MM-preamp  .
Just joking. I was considering this purchase months ago, but I got a Church preamp instead.
But I've heard very good things about this preamp.

Take care, friend
