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.

This is a PSA.

If you hook a 57 to a Mackie 1202, and then hook it to a GRE MP2 and
can't hear a difference, please see your audiologist.

And, it's measurable. I've only done frequency response, not impulse
response, though. Anyone who gets a good set of impulse responses with
different loads should be able to get a nice JAES paper out of it.

Be aware that the GRE MP2 input is reactive, too!
