I was not going to buy one but had looked at them a few weeks ago. Actually I looked at Alpha and Art models but for some reason Ebay sent me a notice for Behringer Mic 200 Ultragain PreAmps. This ebayer had 10 of them at thsi price the other day and now they have 4 of them. This is not the 100 model but the 200 model. You often see them from $39-$59 online plus shipping. Between the killer deal on the condenser mic's elements I got and the deal on this I am going to have to try my hand at Direct Injection. First though I am going to see how much I can pass through a lightly modified audio chain with just some cap sub's made. I might even try replacing some caps with twisted pair of wires.
