Thanks for keeping this thread going guys.
Still not sure which direction to go with those mics. My Crown SASS just
arrived and I am hoping to do the modifications soon. But am really
intrigued by the DIY approaches that are being suggested here. Jecklin,
Sphere, SASS all sound like good options.
@Dan Dugan, interesting you should mention that ORTF gets high marks
positional information, I have a pair of MKH 8040s that I am trying to fit
into the mix in ORTF as well.
Thanks again for the advice,
Jason

A quick point of information that not all Sound Devices pre-amps are made equal.
The 702/722/744 apparently do have the same pres. However the 788 is
dramatically improved, according to a white-paper on the SD website.
The pre-amps in the 633/664 are inferior to the 7 series, from usage reports
and SDs own tech specs. Though still very good, I am sure. Never used them
myself.

Keep eye on Sonosax SX-4+
It is very nice & great sounding recorder. Not 2 channel, but 4 mic + 2
line input, which give more options.
Otherwise Nagra seven if you are only looking for 2 channel recorder
Bestu kveðjur / Best regards

I read a few reviews on the Sonosax SX-4+ and have heard only good thing
about it. If it weren't above my price range i would seriously consider it.
Magnus, I saw your pictures on Facebook of you Sonosax SX-4+ in action.
It's also a stunning looking machine.
I'm also looking at the Zaxcom Maxx. It looks like it's Zaxcom's version of
the SD 744T. I decided if I'm going to put in over $3k towards a recorder I
should looking into 4+ tracks for versatility. I read the Maxx has the same
preamps as the Nomads, which are supposed to be very quiet preamps
