Phantom Power DI Problem

Recording bass guitar at a concert the other day, the bass player’s amplifier gave off a suspicious whine when the bass was plugged into my Whirlwind IMP-2 passive direct box. The ground lift switch on the DI did not get rid of the noise. I suspect that my DI is not blocking the phantom power that my PreSonus Firepod is sending down the line.

Phantom problem?

I happened to noitce in the middle of a session that my (phantom powered) B.L.U.E. mouse mic was not working (barely passing signal) when plugged into my VINTECH 1272 preamp. Oddly enough, it seems to work fine on other preamps, (TubeTech, Daking, etc). And also, oddly, other phantom mics like a TLM 103 continue to work fine on the Vintech.
