Yeah, a friend of mine in Oklahoma used to do radio production day-in-and-day-out with one of those. It was a real workhorse for him.

I dunno...my opinion of digital is based largely upon my own experience with my own gear, and though my a/d & d/a measure very low in distortion*, (I've got a cool software called Audio Tester that turns my DAW into a distortion/spectrum analyzer) they can still turn a delicate acoustic guitar part into mush sometimes while the analog recorders don't.

*about .003%, which is mighty low [Linked Image]
