dex Otaku, thank you for the insight. I guess it's worth it to pay the extra money to avoid all the sony garbage. I noticed that prices on the R-1 dropped around 390 this weekend, and you can now get a 1GB card under $20, so looks like the price isn't going to be as much of an issue rirsa, wow, major flaw in the H120. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll drop that one from the list.

First things first: love this board, thanks to all for the great info, opinions, and support. I would like to get some opinions about the price/value difference between the Sony MZNHF800 and the Edirol R-1. The total investment for the Sony would be about $200 even, where as the Edirol plus CF card would cost around $450 - $500. Are the added quality and convenience from the Edirol worth an extra $250 - $300? The only criteria are the quality of the A/D chip and storage; CF vs MiniDisk reusability. Only usage would be analogue recordings; portable vocal studio sort of thing, opera lessons, coaching, etc, using the AT822 I guess to be fair I could rope the H120 into the mix. Anyone compared that to HI-MD? Last bit: any update on the H320 supporting WAV recordings? Thanks
