Topic: MP-2, PSP-2, or SAX; decisions, decisions

[scb]

the sax really isn't smaller than the mp2.  they're the same size

the mp2 is 1.7 x 3.7 x 5.5

sax is 1.6 x 3.4 x 5.75

where the mp2 is thicker, the sax is longer.  

isn't the psp2 similar?

[silentmark]

I would pick the mp2 as last. If you want transormer out then go w/ the psp-2.  Jonny does the sx-2 have xfmr out??? There are many sx-2 users who swear by them...likewise the psp-2.   There was a big thread on the Oade board...search the archives.
  See if the psp-2 owner will let you try it out first.
As for metal detectors...you still have the mics to contend w/.

The Sax rocks. The only thing I don't like about it is the 9v batteries, other than that, it rocks, HTH ...

Why not a V2...they pop up all the time these days and can be had in the same price range.  If I were buying a new pre, I would use the mini-me first, and then when I had the loot...which I don't...I would buy a V2 to run in front of that.  I plan on buying a V2 at some point to play with in front of the mini-me, just not yet!  I ran the sax for quite a while and loved it with my mbho's, and hated it with my gefell's.  Something about running the sax->MME just didn't work for me, so I traded it for an m1 and oade cable since my deck had died.  My newest plan is to run the JB3 exclusively, we shall see if that works out though  The JB3 will be in action tonight, I will let you know what I think tomorrow!

the V2 is not stealthable in most situations.....I can see it now..."Is that a V2 in your pants or are you happy to see me" :-)

Why do that? Why not just buy a V3 to start with if you like the V2. The Mini-Me tapes that I have from various sources do not impress me. I think for that sort of money the unit would have a much more transparent sound. Anyhow, that's my opinion of the unit, others may feel differently.

Wayne,

I think some folks just really like the Apogee A/D converters.

Sheeyet.  Don't tell Scott Brown that.  He stealths with the v3 like its nothing!

larry horton is the real man with steathing large stuff.  he stealths the v3 now, but before the v3 he stealthed v2 > ad2k all the time.

He must be sporting some "hammer pants"

So if all highend gear needs to be transparent and non-transparent gear is not highend? I own it specifically because it's not transparent.

D - have you a/b'd the pre section in the V2 to the MiniMe? I have and the difference is very, very subtle. There is no way I would carry a V2 with me to run in front of the MiniMe. That's just more cables and more batteries for the same sound. Of course if you have a V2 you do have a full function pre (ie. a HPF) at your disposal if you should need it.

Of course that's just me. I know Jason B carries a V2 with his minime. Do some a/b's for yourself before you buy.

How'd he get past the nazis at the door? Did he carry all that on his body? Sheeit...
