Whilst I believe you can make very good recordings with some cheap pres, there was a noticeable difference between a DMP3 and my ISA One and even more noticeable with my UA610!
Sure, I agree. But there's more than several that deal out their opinion that there's no difference and say it's because they can't hear it, so it must not exist. I know and you know there's a difference and most of the time, money talks.
Just in my low-end world, I hear big differences between my DMP3, Auteur and Summit. However, I'm still working on deciding which one I like best on which source. Recordings can be made with each, but each of them is different obviously and, not surprisingly, I find myself liking the more expensive ones for what I would consider the more critical aspects of the song(s), which is mainly my son's guitar parts right now.

Good luck and let us know what you get.
