I've come up with a frig: the noise is fairly constant....so I thunk to meself, if I increase the input signal level it *should* improve the S/N level. A dead simple single transistor pre-amp proved this to be the case, gawd bless the BC337! It's not a particularly elegant fix, but it works. Whilst I was messing about on the bench, Rick (who's DI box it is) went out and bought a couple of decent DI boxes that have sorted the problem rather more elegantly than my botch.....but I like rolling my sleeves up! Treewind: I considered using NE5534 and tweaking the bias, but they're surmo and I'm not brave enough - many thanks for your input though! Cheers, JJ
