Default Cheap preamp for video calls?

It's just that my NT1-A's sit at my right side when I'm at the
computer already, so that's what I use when I'm on Windows.Â* They
are already working with the computer and already on mic stands.Â* Also,
it's important
to use the same interface for mic and speaker when Zooming so that
it can do its echo cancellation thing properly.Â* The R0de's are
already plugged into my main output interface.Â* So Windows is set.

So, when using Linux, (my job environment) I'd like to use the same
mics, but the
interface that I have that works with Linux has no preamps.

All that said, I love to imagine that my audio quality will somehow
reach the
clients that I Zoom with.Â* A dream I suppose, given the barriers between
us.
I at least want to keep the noise that *I* introduce to a minimum.

Curious as to what situation with NT1As by your side sitting at a
computer, apart from the Zoom calls !
