Yep.
I'm curious because I've known so many people who don't use an eq the way it was intended, do you plan on flattening your response using an SPL meter?

No good reason honestly, I feel like they bring the benefit of optical media and cassette together. Seems like a cool way to do mix tapes. Really though, its the cartridge like feel that has me interested.

But it's not bad enough to really notice. It might be a 60Hz hum, the power adapter that came with the pre-amp doesn't look especially good.
Anyway, it never bothered me at all while simply listening to music. But, I finally got around to digitizing a few records (ones that I don't own in any other format). I recorded a ~30 second clip to test, and the hum is unbearable.
So, I gotta figure out how to get rid of the hum.

I use them on all of my equipment, necessary or not, simply because they are a cheap way to not have to chase down such a problem.
Though at 60hz it may be too low a frequency for this to do any good.
