I purchased one from a member of this list about a year ago; it was in practically new condition, and came with one of the Coresound t-mics. It's done great work, including with line input and phantom powering. A few weeks ago I was doing a soundwalk in Portugal, and due to factors I won't detail here for fear of derisive laughter, I fell backwards about 10 feet into a river with the 2496 still recording. By the time I made my way out, I'd lost a few small items and my glasses, but the rest of the equipment was there. My Canon Rebel was killed dead. But I took the dead 2496 back to the residence, took it apart, cleaned connectors and gave it a serious drying and electronic testing, and lo and behold, it -- and the microphones -- were in perfect shape. Even the recording came out, though it failed to save that last part of the file where I was falling, hitting, and yelling. The unit took quite a beating that day, and is still working brilliantly.
