UTILIZATION

It's simple. The manual although English is well done.

SOUND QUALITY

The variable impedance is really a big plus.
It can reveal a microstrip a bit dull for example, naturally with an EQ.
The high voltage circuit is something that is normally found on the high end.
Bandwidth is increased (15Hz to 120kHz) and very clean sound. Switch to normal mode to see the coloration arrive earlier.
At breath is imperceptible, it is at a very high level.

OVERALL OPINION

I upscale TG Channel MK2, Drawmer 1969 Apollo Quad equipment, and I needed a preamp to record in M ​​/ S and RS PRO MPA II corresponded.
Skeptical about its performance relative to price (the best paper that GoldMike MK2 1200 euro), I wanted to make my own opinion and although I still can not so I am in the process of seek a second but it is very rare!
