Thoughts on Symetrix 302?

[dmc777]

What's up guys I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the 302s. I'm currently using a DMP3 and looking to add a couple of more pres. I've that the discontinued SX202 is better than the 302 but is the 302 good? Is the 302 better than a Rane MS1B? Any help would be appreciated.

Lots of stuff on usenet about this model.

I'd like to know too. Anyone out there? I just bought one for 75 bucks, I guess I'll know in a week or so. From what I understand the 302 has the burr brown chips.

Here is a link to a review by Ty Ford:

Ty is pretty good.

You might try this link to Google Groups (aka usenet) to find more info on Mr. Ford and the 302:

Thanks, that's a pretty old review, somewhere I read they switched the 302 from the SSM 2017 to BurrBrown's a year or so into production. I'll have to pop it open to see what I got.

They would have had to, considering the 2017 had been long discontinued.
