Topic: Edirol R-1

[jibooer]

I was wondering if anyone had any info related to the Edirol R-1 especially when it comes to live recording. I have seen Oade Bros. selling the R-1 upgrade kit with some Schoeps so I am hoping one of you audiophiles would have any opinions on this. I am aware of the 24-bit recording possiblilites and the fact it comes with a virutally useless 64MB memory, but it would be nice to get some feedback from anyone with the knowledge.
Thanks.

I have the Oade mod R1.  I can't tell you how it sounds different than the standard model since I've never used one.  What I can tell you if that the +6 mod doesn't create noise or anything of that nature, the unit sounds great.

I have a stock R-1, and I've taped 1 show so far.... It sounds great.
