Well, I guess I don't know what this is supposed to mean. On a given day, with a given microphone, and for a given instrument, I've found the preamps in a Mackie 1202 mixer to be superior to several bespoke preamps costing five times as much. So what? Like I'm going to sell everything else and keep the Mackie? Of course not. I keep the Mackie 'cause it has its moments, but I'm still hanging on to the good stuff.

As for the Sound Devices, I don't keep it because I can't find something cheaper that sounds just as good. I keep it because no matter where I am, or what I'm doing, I push the record button and it actually records.
