Don't be too much of a believer in statements like that. If you rate the
MP-2 as 100% better than a consumer MD, then the HHb is only a few
percentage points below that.
The main advantage in using a external pre with the HHb is in that both
the MP-2 and the HHb can be set on the optimum gain level for quality.
This level will be a bit above what you can get with the HHb alone.
A bigger advantage of the MP-2 to me is that it can do onboard decoding
of M/S stereo to the headphones, either with or without decoding the
recorded signal.
Note unless you are using quality mics, it's probably a moot point.

Subject: Common loon photograph request
Anyone have or know of an available photographic source of a common
loon (Gavia immer)? Close-up full body on quiet water surface would
be best. We need it for a CD album cover we're designing.
Please contact me directly. And thanks.
