Hi -
Just looking for suggestions of small very portable pre's to use with the iRiver and AT831 binaurals (1/8 mini for plug in power).
A pre + A>D may be preferable because I MAY in time go to a different recorder (either laptop or PDAudio) but for the time being I want something to work with the existing setup.
Main requirement is SMALL... and ideally I'd prefer not to have to carry any more gear (ie if hte pre can supply the mic power, that would be GREAT).
I've been looking at the AD20 and the core 2496, but I gather there are problems with both to make them work with my existing gear... and I don't entirely understand the whys and wherefores on that. Also, what would they SOUND like? What's going to give me the most "naturalistic" sound with this setup?
I'm a classical singer, by the way... and also pretty much a recording n00b so if there are any tech things which affect my choice (eg jumpers, mods, power requirements, cabling abbreviations) assume I know nothing and explain in idiot terms!!
Thanks!
