I would agree on most of their list, but the SD MP2 is a good preamp. It 
was always a mystery why SD discontinued it. Especially in the face of 
increased popularity of M/S recording as it's equipped with a M/S 
decoder system while what they left in their lineup in the same price 
range is not.

Cornell's current recording units are useless for us, not available. And 
more complex than necessary.
