Right now, I'm running the following setup: D100< SP-SPSB-6< SP-CMC-8s.
I also just bought a JB3 which I might try out down the line.
My question: I'd like to improve the performance and sound while KEEPING IT SMALL.
Reading here has left me thinking about modifying my mics for phantom power.
I've also seen a lot of mention about a Denecke AD-20.
Or . . . . should I be setting my sights on a mic upgrade?
I need to be pointed in the right direction. Help, please . . . .
:)

Depends in large part on your budget. With a...
- small budget, I'd upgrade to phantom.
- medium budget, I'd upgrade to phantom and AD-20 (for the variable gain, I don't think it's a vast improvement over the D100's ADC)
- BIG budget, I'd upgrade mics / preamp.

I've got a pretty workable budget, Brian ~
Just need to be convinced what I'm sinking my money in. :)

Def go for the Phantom upgrade if nothing else. Those mics will be able to handle higher SPL's w/out distortion. If you are gonna do more open taping than stealth, get yourself some Studio Projects, or AKG 300 series mics, they won't break the bank.
