as much as I like the ua-5, no way the pre should be run behind the m148. Bri, I think you're really looking at selling the ua-5 and putting that cash into a mod sbm1 or,
an ad500 or 1000. That said, the TL has the color to sound really good with the v3, imo. I have some tapes, and really like them. sure would be an easy, hassle free rig to run, too, unlike m148>mme, and wouldn't explode like 148>500,1000. Imo.
