Chris, count me in on the pre-order- I know, I just got the CA UGLY, but a postage stamp sized Pre? I will be all over that one ;-))
We are now working on a preamp that will fit on a postage stamp in the next year ( late ) we will have it done.
*LOL* Why not just build it into a short cable and be done with it?
Anyway, just got my CA Ugly ... very very impressed! Of course, like the ST9100, don't try it with rechargeable 9v's. Just for fun I tried a NiMH, fully charged, and it ran for less than two minutes powering my DPA 4061's.
I assume regular alkalines from the Dollar Store or similar will do me fine? I'm guessing I can pick up half a dozen or so and be good for maybe 250 hours?
