Wow! Nice preamp!

I just finished auditioning the SC-1mk500 with output transformer. I recorded a Taylor acoustic with a Neumann TLM-193 into your preamp and then into a Tube -Tech CL-1B compressor. The results were fantastic.  I couldn't believe how much clean gain was available.  Not sterile clean, it does have "character", but clean!  Solid lows and a sweet sparkly top end, it captured the Taylor perfectly.  If I really hit the strings hard, the preamp could handle it easily.---My wife came in and she agreed, which is always nice, that the SC-1 sounded wonderful and was worth the expense.  I won't hesitate to buy more modules and I'm already gearing up to purchase the package of three. You make a really great-sounding pre.
