sold my jb3 and my MT to help fund my SD 722...now I'm contemplating a small back-up recorder...
stopped reading all the various threads on MT after one blew up...and the R-1 wasn't really my bag...the r-09 sounds interesting...iRiver, is it there yet?
what do you all think? my flexible requirements:
<$300
nice A/D
24/48 minimum; would prefer 24/96
small
good analog inputs
I have a 6GB microdrive so compatability would save me a couple of bucks...

I think the consensus would be that if you're looking for an analog recorder the R-09 would be the choice.
For a lower cost bit bucket (optical), the MT would probably be the choice. I think it has become more stable. I gave up reading the threads, so I don't know for sure.
The iRivers are not capable of 24 bit.

I may be in the minority, but if your getting a 722, a backup recorder is well past overkill. Other than the very initial firmware issues, mine is stable as a rock

I'm with Nick. I'd skip the backup recorder and put the $300 towards a future mic upgrade, or nifty new accessories, or some such.

why not just mirror to flash in the 722 and that way you have a backup if your HDD decides to die. If the unit dies anything patched out of it wont do anygood anyway unless you are running a Pre infront of the 722

maybe I'm just paranoid and like to have 2 of everything... ???
as far as a "future mic upgrade" goes...the only upgrade to my 480's would be a second pair or a softer box to hold them in >:D

i agree, im eventually gonna get an 8GB CF card to run as backup for the HD
or just keep the jb3 and run mp2>jb3
