Thanks!

It seems to have turned out okay for a second attempt. It was recorded in 16/44 with a $99 M-Audio USB mike preamp and a coupla cheap $99 CAD condenser mikes by someone who has virtually no clue what they are doing.

ET3SE / Classic Sixty SE review by A.Sircom, HIFI+ last issue:

A good preamp is all about matching gain structures between sources and
power amps. That can make or break a system and even those CD player
makers who claim their products don’t need a preamp often sound better with
a world-class preamp in the chain. The key words there were ‘world-class’.
They are hard to come by. Price does not automatically confer ‘world-class’
status, but generally those best-ever preamps become more and more rare
as the price drops. So, it’s refreshing to find a truly world-class preamp in the
ET3 SE. And a perfect partner in the Classic Sixty SE.
They have a richness of tone that isn’t thick or stodgy, but instead give music shape, texture and body. Vocals project forward out of the mix with excellent articulation and a sense of solidity that makes you envisage a living, breathing human being standing in front of you. It makes listening to broken-voiced torchsong singers like Amy Winehouse or Billie Holiday almost impossible; you aren’t in there with the mix, you are sharing their pain.

Just listened... sounds amazing. Is this the Gyro or Rega playing?
