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 have yet to venture into the world of MP3, so I can't comment there... 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Timothy O'Connor, RMIT.
