Have you ever heard the Panasonic SV-255 or 250? They both sound really great. They are "professional" equipement, but the SV-255 can be had for around $2000 these days. The 255 replaced the 250 a year ago. They sound much better then Sony DATs, which I dislike. The SV-255 has a very open, warm sound. Sweet sounding, with great bass extension. Can handle the low end of Shoeps omnis, my reference mics. This unit is significantly more reliable than every other machine sold. -Chris Hecht chris@cs.uoregon.edu
