When you go to "he isn't man enough", you lose me, daspy. You have sunk to levels you don't need to. At the end of the day, you've lost me on what argument you are trying to make here. Your recordings will likely be better in almost every instance. But, furby's recordings are likely good enough in most instances. His point is he wouldn't record if he needed $3000 in gear to do it, so he does it with the gear he has and he, and others, are happy enough. No one is going to release one of his recordings as a commercial product, but it seems the fans like them well enough, esp. when they are the only recording of a show.
