Let us know where you stand with this Chris. I've been in touch with Jerry from Aerco about buying an MP-2, but if you can come up with a good pre-amp with transformers I'd be happy to give you some business.
I know I have to do this. Its the only way for my small company to get to the next step. So I have to build a professional balanced preamp with phantom and transformers ( only because I like transformers ) they add $100 to the cost of the preamp with out even talking about the case or the circuit. I want to be able to do this.. I will try to come up with something that is good enough to be considered for purchased by you guys. I want something that I would purchase.
When I design something that's what I ask my self if I needed a preamp would I buy this? Its hard to be objective because there are so many ways this thing could go. But I think the input I have received from you guys has helped me. And in return I will try to help you by building something that will not cost an arm and a leg. But give me some time keep the idea's flowing. This is a learning experience for me as well. I want to build one preamp and get it right the first time. With my other preamps things have changed here and there I have come up with better power supply designs I have had help from guys Like Richard here at T.S he says one thing to me and I am off trying it out and 9 times out of 10 it works for the better. I cant be changing this circuit all the time once its built I want it to work exactly the way I have it in my head. And for you guys not to have to send it back for a "new mod" Lets see what happens.
Thanks to everyone that has contributed to this thread and please continue.
