Actually am running an old Shure 5655D Unisphere 1 Dynamic plugged into a into a Toneport UX1 then into my old Dell desktop.
The Toneport has a Gearbox program with it with instrument and mic settings so I guess that's considered a preamp?
It accepts the old plugs but USB might be good for my laptop.
Wondered if the AKG or newer mic would be better.
Thanks for any input.
