It depends, what are you going into?
Prolly into my jb3, or into my MZ-N505 line in (no mic input) if stealth conditions mandate. Why does this matter? Is it because the deck itself could possibly provide some gain?
What are you recording?
All types, mostly jam bands in bars or smallish ballrooms. I would be using this mostly (exclusively?) for stealth, and the Oktavas>Mixpad>jb3 for open taping. Usually loudish music (I wear earplugs, anyway)
What kind of mics?
Core Sound Low Cost Binaurals, eventually maybe a heavy stealth rig of something like Okatvas>PS-2>pre?>MD
Yeah, I like head-fi, but I'd never heard of fixup.net
+T and welcome aboard!
Thanks!
