Re: rc-2 and a mic

Yes, of course a preamp is best, but a simple mic-line
transformer will do. I use one of these with the RC-2:

Beware going any cheaper than $10 or so, though, as you're
probably just getting an adapter and not a transformer.
Look for terms like "Lo-Z to Hi-Z". Just because the plug
fits doesn't mean it'll work right.
