I just bought this unit (831) from SAWADA DENKI in Japan, mail order to Australia. I would just like to say that it is excellent, and for anyone considering a portable recorder, this one should be a definite consideration. FYI: despite the fact that the exchange rate a the moment is the worst i've ever seen, I was still ahead of the cheapest Aussie guy I could find by AU$60 (on the unit alone), until customs found it, (despite it being labelled as "gift") and I was only ahead by AU$5. Christopher Spalding Genius, generally excellent and gifted person. P.S. The sound is phenomenal. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
