DIY Preamp

Anyone here ever "roll their own" mic preamp? I've come across several links on the web that seem great for this sort of thing...My interest was piqued when an electrical engineer buddy of mine cracked open a very hi end pre and said.."this design is really simple and the parts can't be more than 200$" I think I will take the plunge. I have nothing to lose but power to my house!

DIY Preamp for Ribbon Mikes?

Being a newbie, a tinkerer, and one who is interested in recreating "that sound" from the early 60's obtained in some of those great jazz recordings, I have obtained my first really decent microphone; a Stephen Sank modified B&O. It has the sound I want, but the mixer boards I use have too much hiss and not enough gain.
