DAT VS. NJB3
« on: January 08, 2005, 07:47:06 PM »
I just want to know is the quality of the JB3 as good as DAT? and can you see the levels on your recording and change levels on the fly?

looks like you are going analog in to your d-8 via mini? I'd say, in your case.....the d-8 would be better a>d conversion. but you have to ask yourself which you value more:

D-8:
better a>d conversion, requires the purchase of media, real time transfers

jb3:
lesser a>d, no media required, quick transfers.

Bah.

Depechemode - I'll re-host my D100 v. NJB3 line-in comparison if you want to hear it.  And check the Archive Info for a pros/cons list of MD v. NJB3 v. DAT.

thanks guy. +T


brian,
   if you could put the comparison up that would be nice. I might switch over whenever my D8 dies. As I have herd DAT is going down the tube and JB3 prices are going up so I am probably going to buy one now and put it in a case or something. plus is it easy to crotch it when you are stealthing?

IMO, for ease of use and many other things, JB3 rules superior :)

Yes, though I don't use it for stealthing.

thanks for this.
I do not hear a lot of difference between the 2 sources (and I don't know if it is a bad or good thing...)
For me, the sound of Source #2 seems a little bit more detailed.

Thanks for the feedback.  The D100's line-in and ADC is well respected, so IMO it's a Good Thing that the NJB3 stacks up (depending on one's ears, playback, etc., of course).  PM coming shortly with source ID info.

How do you know which is which?  I don't think I've PM'd you the results, yet!  And if they sound the same, how does that mesh with you preferring the DAT?  Just curious.  I'll send a PM with detail on which source is which and why I prefer one over the other - after you PM me with which you think is which, and why.  :)

I liked 1 a little better, but it was pretty close.

Nah, all I do in the TXT file is identify the two sources, not which is source 1 and which is source 2.  So...care to hazard a guess?
