hello again,
my assumptions are based on how someone's system will ultimately be used
i think in a DJ scenario (hence the phono inputs) an aux is going to be take
from the DJ mixer at line level - even the cheapest DJ mixers have aux
outputs / returns now
if the end user DJ is going to spend $$$\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd???? on a modular, it's likely
they'll already have the means to process the vinyl ???

not wanting to put a downer on things - but why dual mic pre..? surely one
mic pre per module would be fine unless there's some esoteric classical
recording technique i don't know about (highly likely actually)
in terms of putting two of the same 'thing' in the same module - i don't
really see the point - purely because my system is currently spread across
five small cases - it's portable, and two cases are specifically set up for
live use (one oakley/cgs, one motm) - i may find i need two mic amps, but to
have them in separate modules is far more convenient

so there you have it - just my humble opinion again
i'll tell you what though - is it possible to have the headphone amp drive
some small speakers with some sort of suitable pcb screw connection..?

cheers
