I've been taping since 2000 and have been a little less active in the last couple years. I'm going through my old equipment drawer and will probably have some things for sale at some point.
1. What are people replacing their Sound Devices 722 with? I'm finding the firewire to be annoying (the computer I had with firewire was replaced years ago) and using the CF card can also be annoying.
Lots of people seem to have moved to multi-channel rigs. Its not uncommon to see 4 channel recorders (or more). See the 744 and 788.
2. Is the Lunatec V3 still the best out there for pre / A/D ?
Oh yeah, its the only one still around b/c it works great. But it seems the opinion of a lot of people are that the ADCs on a lot of newer recorders are adequate...
ETA. There are a couple of Oade Moded V3s around... Do some digging with the Search Function and you'll find it...
3. I am still pretty happy with my KM140 and KM184, so I think I'm good there.
Good mics will always be good mics...
Secondarily I still have an MP-2 & Oade modsbm-1 that I've always loved and can't seem to get rid of.
Keep them. One day there may be a reason to bust them out... You may never use them again, but you'll always regret selling them...
My worthless ramblings...
