I couldn't be happie with the Tekkeon. No better way to go. Ted made my power cable as well.
Yeah, the only improvement is getting above 19v for headroom since the sax's upper limit is based on that, but I'm not sure its worth the trade off. The powering solution would have to be significantly cheaper then a 3450 to make it in my eyes. The only catch is don't get a tekkon that auto-locks on it's voltage, gotta set it manually.
At MPP and Raleigh>Ptown I would set the 722's timer (so it would start recording about 10-15 minutes before the estimated set start), turn the machine on, set a gain estimate, and lock the keys. That enabled my small bag to be placed under the tree stand early on where it was hard to get at (safe) and I'd just walk back to my seat or whatever. Come back at the end of the show and turn everything off and walk out. Nobody had to run my rig or anything, just make sure the stand didn't get trampled since my stuff was underneath it. *** I'd just leave the sax running for 6-7hrs or so each day. I figured out that if I recharged my 722 each night, I could easily run a weekend of Phish off of a single tekkeon 3450i charge. Actually, a number of times, I even used the usb port and set my phone to airplane mode and put it in the bag to charge while the show was going on.
