I thought about the sonosax...I remember using one once or twice with the 170s and not liking it much (more from a useability standpoint than sound-wise)
I kind of really like the "all in one" appeal of the SD 7x2 units. they seem to be wonderful in terms of useability. How does the preamp in the SD compare to the SX-M2?
when using both the pre and AD on a 722 at 24/96, how much battery life do you get? is the 702 any better? (I'm thinking a used 702 should be around $1500, If I can find one, and would weigh slightly less)
here's another thought: would it be possible to get the 402xs, an r-09, and some phanotm battery boxes, just to tide me over till I can find a good deal on a 7x2 serries? more or less I'm wondering about the pre in the 09.
I think I met robert at a couple shows around 01. I know we at least traded email or tapes. That's a great kit, but probably more than I'm looking to spend, and I don't need all the odd mounting accessories. might be an option if I don't come across anything else though.
