MOTM

I'm going through the output mixer dilemma as well.  I've tried 
using a Samson 16 x 2 mixer in a 2 rackspace unit with a headphone 
out.  Unfortunately the Samson mixers are the only units I have 
found which refuse to coexist with the balanced line AC in my 
studio.  They hum like crazy.  
For recording I go straight from the alst module into my Apogee 
converter.
I'd like to see an output module with a headphone amp and balanced 
line outs.  Two outputs would be enough for most people but perhaps 
more would be nice to have for those MOTMers who like to perform 
live with multiple speakers.
An input module would be nice as well.  I'd like to see a mic input 
preferably with phantom power available as well as a couple of line 
level inputs.  Maybe it could include a follower.
A third idea would be to possibly adapt one of those low cost tuners 
like the Korg into a tuner module, possibly with an A440 reference 
as well.
Idea number 4 would be a universal buffer module which could adapt 
ins and outs from rack mount units like delays and effects into MOTM 
level signals.  Sort of like Stooge Moe's buffer for the 
expressionist.
Just throwing ideas out there.
So many ideas and so little time.
