Hi guys,

my best sounding results are with a ART Xdirect DI box, but is more kit
to bring around.
I tried to build an XLR board using this solution by J. Donald Tillman
and it sounded allright but not as good as a DI box so I took it off.

If you are planning to make some board with the Dodotronic, would you
mind to make some more for me I could buy and test?
I would need 6 of them if it sounds good.
:-)

Thanks.

Emanuele
