I have used one for years.  The 4060 > MPS6030 > 620 combination sounds great, in my opinion.  I have also used it with MKE2s and CA11s and thought those worked well too.  One nice thing is that it provides ~ 5 V plug-in power, so a lot of small mics can be powered OK without a battery box.  When I really want to go minimalist, I run the MKE2s straight into the 620; it sounds good and is about as small as you can get...

I also used to own a factory 620 and had both simultaneously for a while.  I never really did a formal comparison, but the Oade version was definitely quieter.

That's a great feature. I tested my stock 620 with 4060's and CA-14's w/o a battery box and it seemed to work fine, even though these mics are supposed to require more than 5 volts PIP.

Thanks Aaron!

My pleasure.  Let me know if you want to hear some samples, although I don't think you'd really be able to separate the recorder's sound from the rest of the chain...
