Re: V67G+3 PreAmps: Mackie XDR, Presonus TubePRE, AudioBuddy

-----------------------------------

Downloaded the clips ok.  One thing that struck me was the unusually high noise level on the audiobuddy.  It's usually very quiet.  I did some research and it appears the 1/4" outputs on the presonus are unbalanced while the audiobuddy are balanced.  I believe the mackie outputs are balanced but the specs were a little confusing.  
    
I'm wondering what you're input settings were for the Layla: -10dBu or +4dBu.  I get much less noise and have to use much less gain with the +4Bu on my Mia.  I assume you'd have to use -10dBu for the presonus with unbalanced outputs.  Thanks again.
