AR133 : Good quality low cost Active DI Box

I don't have alot to spend on equipment and have wasted too much on DI boxes in the past that I don't think now were good enough for recording. The BSS AR133 is not one of those. It is lower cost than many of the other DI boxes in its range, affordable for me and I am very happy with the outcome of the recordings I used it on. In previous recordings the DI boxes I used (Behringer and Millenium) were difficult to control with hiss as some of my instruments are old and of questionable quality due to mixed pickups and customised wiring. But the BSS coped with these very well as I was able to eradicate most of the hissing with the ground lift button and db pads. I have no idea though if it makes any difference with it on battery power as I had it through the Phantom power on my soundcraft desk.
