Warning. I'm about to stick my very thick head into a very big lion's mouth--the argument over accessibility vs useability. Don't flame me for my having this opinion, flame me for my points. On Sat, 12 Nov 2005 08:01:15 -0500, Jerry Richer wrote: > Doug! Have you considered the Edirol R-1.

I know the Marantz PMD670 and like it quite well. The new PMD671 uses the same casing but has more features, for instance, it can charge AA rechargeables. It can also record 24Bit Wave files.
