I HAVE spend long hours doing both Blind and sighted A/B comparisons with
my Sony MZ-R50 portable recorder.  Im HUGLY impressed with it.  I couldnt
be happier with the recording quality, which to me IS identical sonically
to CD.

I agree totally with Mr Kruguer, in that I think MP3 has been given a very
bad rap.  Ive done quite a bit of compressing with it, and I really think
that when its setup correctly, MP3 can be every bit as good as ALTRAC, and
at higher compression too, I would say.  Still, I will continue to covert
my R50 until a portable mp3 recorder that uses a cheap blank medium, (like
MD) hits the market.
