On the topic of the Sony PCM-D50 and the Sound Devices MixPre, is any parti=
cular cable better (e.g., in terms of durability) than others for connectin=
g the MixPre to the D50?

In my experience with the two recorders, the lower EIN of the D50 preamp is=
 a difference you can hear when using external mics with very low self-nois=
e, like the Rode NT1A. Mics with higher self noise, such as the Sennheiser =
ME62, mask the difference in preamp.

These mics need a battery box to connect to the D50 or M10. Rather than a b=
attery box, you should use your Sound Devices preamp, and connect to the li=
ne input, bypassing the recorder preamp.
