Nick, do you actually have one in hand? I'm starting to hear reports of folks who are finally receiving their back-orders who are less than thrilled with the unit, but not because of its ability (or inability) to make a good recording. Apparently some folks have some issues with the design of the case, ease (or lack thereof), of removing or inserting the FLASH memory module, ... mechanical things which, over time, could put stress on the unit and cause it to break down. I don't know about you or how you use these things, but, large or small, recorders tend to get batted around a bit--they fall of tables, get knocked around inside backpacks, come into contact with coins and keys in pockets (which had better mean there are no metal contacts on the outside of the unit for interfacing with mains power or battery chargers like some other appliances I've used over the course of my electronic life), etc. Also, I'm generally not thrilled with devices like this in plastic cases,which I know the R1 definitely has. But I'm still willing to give it a shot because I've heard it does its main job well, and that's what I'm buying it for--to record. I'll figure a way to deal with the rest if I have to. _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
