i'm a musician who will be buying a dat to do field and home recording and am looking specifically at the d100 and m1. i've heard that the only difference between the two is scms.
anyone here in similar shoes with words of warning about scms? if necessary, is it defeatable? i
i can forsee having to edit some of the work i record, so i don't want to get the wrong one.
also, will the sbm-1 (i think that's what it's called) improve the recordings on my minidisc/dat recorder enough to warrant spending the extra $'s on one? i've read about mods for these too but considering i'll be recording strictly voice and acoustic guitar, would they be useful?
lastly, has anyone bought a refurbished d100 for $499 on the internet? there's a place that sells these and i am curious if it's a good idea at that price. i know there's a one year warranty included from sony on the package.
nice clouds to you and thanks for any help you send my way...
