Hi
Since i see here some threads about homerecording i thought i share this. In the last time i was busy building a mic preamp and now it's finished. Here are two pics (sorry the quality is very bad, but since i don't have a digital camera i had to use the digital camera of my friends cell phone)
I builded two different mic preamps in a 19" rack case. On the left front it's called the Taos Mic Preamp (don't know why that name, i found the schematics on the net). On the right side it's the Green Mic Preamp, also found on the net. The board with that blue thing is the power supply for the mic preamps because they need +15V, -15V and 48V for phantom power and that's the job of the power supply.
I test recorded with the Green Mic Preamp. I like it more than the Taos Mic Preamp which is also quite good. And both are way better than the Behringer stuff i used before. And it was quite a good deal since all together it probably did cost me around 80 Euros with the rack case.
Here is the file i did with the green mic preamp:

Oh i should say something about it. I don't know why but my soundcard ****ed up so i have quite some clicks and hiss in the background in the file. I just didn't know what the problem was since it was the first time my soundcard started this problem. And i really wasn't in the mood to search for this problem.
After all i hope it doesn't affect the file to much. I think the sound is quite ok (besides those clicks and hiss of course) It sounds better with my studio monitors but on the normal speakers it was not that bad.
Maybe some of you know how to solder and want to try building something. I would be happy to pass the info along for those two mic preamps or other things.
