DAT-heads Digest #262, Volume #8 Sun, 9 Dec 07 19:50:02 EST Contents: SS Recorder opinions sought ("Thomas B. Nast") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Thomas B. Nast" Subject: SS Recorder opinions sought Date: Sun, 09 Dec 2007 17:02:51 -0800 I'm planning to move to a solid-state recorder in the next few months. Associated gear is an Apogee Mini-Me and a pair of Neumann TLM-103s (obviously not a stealth outfit!). As near as I can figure, there are really only three contenders: Marantz PCM671 Fostex FR2 Tascam HD-P2 (Yes, a laptop computer could do the job, but I'd prefer not to go that route for various reasons, such as battery life, robustness and size.) Is there any reason to prefer one of the above over the others, or to exclude any of them? Any others I've missed (unit must have digital in and a 96K sampling rate)? Any of these have known bugs, or service/support problems? All else being equal, the Tascam looks the best, but hand-on experience trumps datasheets every time. Thanks in advance for your datapoints.
