This article seems to throw quite a bit of cold water on the many claims of
dramatic sonic differences due to real-world variations in the loading of
SM57s by various preamps and cables.

I didn't see the article you're talking about, but experience has
shown that there's a noticable difference in sound (not necessarily
limited to frequency response) depending on whether an SM57 is
connected to a preamp with an input transformer or without. It
probably has more to do with the transformer in the SM57 than anything
else.

A good illustration would be to plug an SM57 into a Groove Tube ViPRE
and twiddle the input impedance switch. That changes taps on a
transformer, and there may be a "transformerless" setting. But then
we'd get to arguing the benefits of "warm" vs. "transparent."
