Hi Mike and all,
Apologies for not getting back earlier. I have to say that I'm quite impres=
sed with the iRig pre. I tried it using my only remaining AT3032 (really wi=
sh I hadn't sold my other two!) and the quality improvement over the intern=
al mic of my iPod Touch was obvious. Most obvious was loss of low frequency=
 random noise, in addition to the obvious benefit of gain. My simple tests =
were using my 66 year old ears, which aren't that good, so take this as you=
 will; I'm sorry it's not more scientific. What I intend to do next is to t=
ry the beast with my LS-10 after buying/making an adapter.
As an aside note, I re-tried the the Nakamichi CM-300 set again yesterday w=
ith my LS-10. This time, I used the low setting sense setting and then uppe=
d amplitude by 6db in Audition. The results certainly confirmed what Umasha=
nkar said; this is a really good quality, quiet and useful set to carry (sh=
otgun CP4 with very narrow super cardioid pattern; omni and cardioid shorts=
). Whether or not I'd be prepared to pay the asking price I've seen on eBay=
 USA sometimes, I'm not sure, but if any of you get the chance to pick one =
up cheaply, I'd say don't hesitate. The only downside is that the batteries=
 are not cheap, but according to Umashankar it's posssible to convert to ph=
antom power.
Cheers
Max
