David, I also use the MP-13 on many of my setups, but like I had talked to you about, with the blue icicle you can elimanate a lot of the noise associated with the traditional EK3029c setup by placing in near the microphone. The Evans style mics are not balanced and unless they are built special it is hard to do. For the engineers out there on this list ;) what we really need is a circuit like bills original one that is balanced AND powered by +48v phantom power!
