....Picked up a Bellari tube preamp at Guitar Center on sale for 80$ - used it for the first time last night (jazz concert - moderate level)w/ 2 AKG 417 mini-mikes, W.W. amp & Bag End 12 in. cab; the improvement in the performance of the AKG's was remarkable - the best "bang for buck" of any equipment I've ever purchased...
