The mixpre-3 is insanely powerful and sounds great! I also own a 788t as well. The 3 is perfect for small optionless recordings. That said, the stock alkaline battery pack is not good. You get about 30 minutes tops on fresh procell AA batteries, even after you set the battery mode to alkaline. Avoid alkaline and buy a li-ion pack. This double pack of L-type batteries with the mounting cup is good for 12-15 hours run time.
