Hi Steve
I have been using step-ups for a number of years, and they are not half as bad as people make them out to be. If fact, I much prefer the gain from a step up to active amplification.
If you are on the cautious side and do not want to spend a boatload of money, I would suggest you give Kevin at K&K a call. You can buy a Lundahl kit step-up or (I have been told) he will sell you an already assembled step-up. Considering their modest price, I give them 11 out of 10 for sonics.
On another thread there is a short discussion on burning in step-ups. This is a procedure that you need to do to get the step-up to sound its best.
Regards
Paul
Ps. I am not affiliated with K&K in any way. I am simply a (very) satisfied client.
