Fair enough. :) Thought the SP foks might have recommended the pre
over the powering module only for some reason... I'd be curious if you
use the pre just for powering and do all the gain at the SD whether
you can hear a clear difference between the SP pres and the SD ones?

Indeed!
The issue with powering the 183s through the Shure phantom adapters I
read about here (in the forum), someone -- maybe you Jeremiah? --
reported that they notice a distinctly noisier floor using the phantom
adapters than powering via Plug-In Power...

That's what/why I was wondering if you'd gone with the pre for some
special reason! :)
Still you are slightly more flexible as it is -- you can always go
into a relatively dumb line level MP3 recorder as a backup etc... :)
