| Wow.
Pretty weird to see your post on the H2, thumper1.
Musicson told us last week that his (second hand) Sony minidisc recorder is DEAD. We had paid little for it used on ebay and he has had his money's worth. Very bad timing, though, since he's trying to put together CDs for summer programs for next year.
He briefly considered buying another cheap minidisc....but with Christmas coming.....he asked us about a hard drive recorder instead.
His Dad (a professional musician and 'black box' lover) offered to research the stuff out there. CNET is a great source on tech stuff....
ANYWAY, with the price range we were considering, the Zoom H2 made the most sense. There's also a slightly higher (H4?) model.
Soooo, a short 'buy it now' moment on ebay and son's new H2 is sitting in the box on our dining room table. About $180 ish new, I think.
Husband played around with it under pretense of checking it out and was impressed. It was lacking some feature H was used to on his minidisc.....put he said it would work out perfectly for son's needs.
Will be interested in hearing from folks with some experience with this unit.
Good luck! |
