Understand. My M160 is somewhat finnicky as to the mic pre. There are a
few it really does well with. AEA TRP, Neve 9098, Jensen Dual Servo.
Try to get one of them and please let us know how it comes out.

Unfortunately, a new pre is not an option for me right now. I've got
the Metric Halo ULN2 and can only hope it works well with the M160. It
has lots of quiet gain and presumably can drive a ribbon.

Anyway, just ordered the M160 and when it comes I'll let you know how
it fares against the MK41 on my guitar. If possible, I will post audio
samples so you can help me decide :-)

Cheers!

Enjoy the M160, it's a great mic. Just remember that ribbons don't like
loading. The ULN2's input impedance is 3.3K ohms, suitably above the
"2K ohms or greater" rule of thumb for ribbons. It should sound great.
