Depends on the recording situtation... I have 3 working portable
recorders, I have 4 Mini-Disc portables, 3 work well, the R-2 is a bit
iffy, I have 3 sets of stereo microphones plus the interview stealth
mic (mono) I have two pre-amps

One preamp works best with the binaurals since they are P-iN-P

One premap works only with the "professional" mics since they and it are
XLR

And the Sony Single point has it's own bulit in battery and thus needs
on external pre-amp if I am willing to use the recorder in ALC mode

Since I, personally, can not be in 3 rooms at one time.... I use the
Sony mic, on a stand, with one recorder, The "professionals" either
hanging from a support or on a stand with their pre-amp and automatic
limiter, and the Low Cost Binaurals, hang on me (Well my glasses) with
the pre-amp and remaining recorder.

Hi all:

Just thought I would clarify. Our preamps *all* use a level control on
the output.....after the amplification stage.

However, the SP-PREAMP with the 3 gain settings has 3 gain choices. The
reason for this is, whenever possible, you don't want to apply any more
gain than is necessary to a signal. It's better to apply as little gain
as possible to a signal (which also means less noise) then to apply too
much and attenuate it down at the end.

With the 3 gain settings, you only apply as much gain as you need, then
fine tune the final level with the output control.

In the end, you might want to try both and then just keep the one you
like better :-)
