[sdiy] Re-amping device

[mark verbos]

Hi Bill,

In the recording industry it was common practice to use a passive  
direct box backwards to achieve the same result as these re-amping  
devices do now at considerable expense. All you need then is an XLR  
reversing cable.

Also, Jenson has some schematics on their page, however their  
transformers are probably expensive enough to make that home brew  
solution just as expensive as a commercial re-amp.
