Is anyone out there using tranformers? I've got a couple Shure A95U tranformers. They're 75-300ohm on the lo-z size and 4300ohm on the high-Z side. Something like 22dB gain they say. These are (supposedly) a bit better then the A85 version.
I'm thinking of putting this in front of a pair of AT853 and driving line in on a NJB3 or MD. Is that going to sound better than using a (cheap, built in) mic preamp? I guess I'll give it a try and let people know...
