Meh, another swing and miss for SD. I just really hate the direction they are taking their product line.

I'm just hoping this tanks the used 788T market.

Ahh, me too. Would like to go down to a single recorder.

I agree on the 722/702/744 front, but Schoeps>788 have pulled lots of great tapes. Especially the ones I've heard that Bennett Schwartz has done with Panic, and I cant stand Panic lol

And I've always thought that the 744 was a waste of money. $4k+ new for 2 preamps? Well fuck that haha

But I always run external preamps, so not a deal breaker for me

I used a 688 with a DPA 5100 surround mic system last month.
I was hired to record the Electroacoustica Festival. http://www.electroacoustica.org/
It was run parallel to the recording I made with Pro Tools via ethernet from the 8 track output from the Avid/Eucon S3 that ran FOH.

As far as I can tell (without A/B comparisons) the mic pre's are every bit as nice as the SD702 we also have in the locker.

The mix will be married to video so it's out of my hands at this point.
