Rob's preamp tests are indeed still on our server, the link is at the
bottom
of this page:

http://www.micbooster.com/products/fel3.5series.html

I should make it clear that there are 2 types of FEL preamp.
Firstly there is the MicBooster range (which Mik Gough was enquiring
about),  operated from 48 Volt phantom power with balanced input and
output. Secondly there is the 3.5 Series (as tested by Rob) which
operate from plug in power and have an unblanced output for use with
"domestic" recorders. Full details are our website.

I hope this has cleared any confusion,
