Topic: Modded 671s compared to outboard pres

[Classicist]

Thinking of upgrading my rig and wondering whether the modded 671s are good enough to eliminate the need for a V3 or other outboard pre.

I tape mostly acoustic stuff - classical, bluegrass, folk acts.  Probably will spend the money for a Schoeps M/S mic lashup as part of the upgrade unless I can think of a reason not to.
