...Fielded offers to build Cornet2's for others. I would love to do it but, Hagtech has run out of the pre-punched and stenciled chassis to go with the circuit boards for the Cornet2. Punching and lettering a chassis would prove too labor-intensive for me to charge less than the $950 that you can buy the CornetMC, assembled and shipped straight from Hagerman for.Unless you want to build your own chassis, buy the CornetMC, you don't have to use the built in headamp.

I didn't realize that the Cornet MC came fully assembled. I assume it sounds about the same as the Cornet2 if you don't use the build in head amp? How does it sound with the head amp vs. the Cornet2 with a SUT? Not important to me now with a HO MC, but curious for possible future cart upgrades.I'm also intrigued by the Wright 200, which is similarly priced but doesn't have a built in head amp.
The headamp in the CornetMC is the soon to be released Picclo headamp. I have not heard it. In general, I prefer a transformer over an active headamp.

The headamp, named Piccolo, is not for sale yet except in the CornetMC. It is new. There is an outboard kit that is 'on it's way.Check out the blog on hagtech for some details on the Piccolo's road to market.
