So these products have been out for a while, but it doesn't seem like
many people are using them. How do they compare sonically to the
Sytek, RNP, or even other low cost pre's like the VLZ's on a Mackie,
or the low end crap with a tube in it?

I'm using the QuadMic powered by a Bosch cordless drill battery
sometimes, and I think is sounds fine!

Which voltage Bosch battery do you use?

I was looking at the QuadMic blurb at
http://www.rme-audio.com/english/micpreamps/quadmic.htm . It looks like a
gem.

They hype the cleanliness of its interior. IMO its a clear strength.

4 channels at just over $500 is in the same price range per channel as the
classic Symmetrix Sx202. But this one would be far easier to take into the
field.

Since its portable gear, how would you rate it's capacity for desk-high
drops to a cement floor?
