Default Does anybody sell pre-made resistor "gizmos" for sm57/58 mics?

This is true for any microphone with a transformer. It's not about
impedance matching of the microphone element with that of the preamp, it
has to do with the inductance and resonance characteristics of the
transformer.

This is a _system_ issue, not a component issue.
