Any word from SD on meeting the delivery target for end of May?  



hopefully we'll have some more solid info on the 18th

i cant believe some of you guyz are preordering these w/ out hearing them, what if it soundz like CRAP and you wanna sell immediately

also, i have some 24bit stuff, its prolly my playback, but i couldnt justify spending that kind of cash JUST for 24 bit...

when a jb3 is 180 bux

Point noted.  Its a leap of faith I guess, but I can justify it on several levels:

I have 2 friends within 15 miles who both run the same rig as I do with the exception of different capsules.

I feel mics make the most impact on the sound of a recording and I am 100% happy with the sound I get out of my mics.  I mean, worst case scenario, this thing will sound like a straight MMe recording...  and I'll always have access to a V3.

Size matters to me.  The less I carry, the happier I am.  No matter how dependable the jb3 is these days, I don't want to add two boxes, more cables, or converters to my bag.

I haven't bought anything new for the rig in over a year.  I haven't played musical rigs and am not in debt from any purcahses.  Time for a change in the rig and to start focusing on the playback system...

I am ready to move away from 16/44.  I fucking hate CDs.  They are clutter.  I can't wait to have the opportunity to have it all on one disc.

I will have the opportunity to run the unit before I actually purchase my own.  If I *really* hate it, I can always spend the $200 on something else...

The fact that they are sending the first productin run to the retailers is comforting to me.  That helps to prevent the same thing that occurred with the MMe from happening with the 7-Series.

Regardlezz, I may get burned, and that is a risk I am willing to take.  If it doesn't work out, at least I got to try something new out.  In my situation, I just don't want to wait another few years on a device that isn't even in the works yet.

totally cool william, i am just gonna sit back while ya'll test it ;D

i bet its one fine piece of machinery, but i persoanlly cant justify that kinda loot for what id be using as a strict recorder :)

according to doug and his love affair for all things Grace, that's just not possible.

quote from the FR-2 thread over at oade:

Quote
"I think it's going to be darn tough to beat the performance of my V3 with the pre/ADC front end on an all-in-one pre/ADC/recorder box."
Do not hold your breath on this one. There are very few engineers who can do what Grace does !

I just hope the front end of the 722 is good enough that I can bear listening to it after those rare occasions when I can't bring in the V3 ahead of it.  I think for stealth situations where all-in-one box with internal batteries is the only option, the 722 will be fine.  At least, that's what I'm hoping for.

thats one thing i kinda agree w/ doug, i know i havent ran a grace too long personally, but all/most of my fav tapes have them in the lineage somewhere;)

but he could also be saying that because hes 'modding' fr-2's...and doesnt want ppl's money spent on the 722, but if he believes its better, we'll have to see, a 1000 less price tag is a lil more inriguing

either way, i hope to enjoy many recordings recorded w/ both units and maybe get one myself if i can justify the $$ and jump from 16 to 24-bit 8)

i agree, i love grace products, but doug's unending praise for all things ever touched by Mike "King Midas" Grace goes a little overboard sometimes.  i am so ready for 24bit, i almost have to buy this box and give it a shot.  i'm stuck right on the fence though.  i paid the deposit to cascade.  i used to have the #1 spot on the list, but frank was less than committed to my keeping that spot for some reason.  but, i really can't justify the cost in any rational way unless i sell the v3.  huge roll of the dice.

def a roll of the dice, if its da bomb, i'll prolly sell the v3 too, but i just dont see it happening, never know tho, i actually hope it does so i can

a. get a real "all-in-one" box

and

b. go 24 bit at the same time

and

c. also have the best pre/ad to my ears if it can beat the v3 sonically

damnit, that thing needs to come out 8)

i don't think the v3 is all that at 2496.  there are probably a few boxes that sound better than it right now

The SD722 is/willbe smaller than a DAP1.  I've seen people stealth a DAP1 before.  I wont be stealthing at shows where they are wanding people.  There are not that many people trying to get guns and knives into the Barns of Wolftrap.

yeah, well you didn't exactly tell me how so no cookie.  People say they "stealthed" a laptop and 2 12V SLAs.

it depends on the situation, but a board member here has gotten proficient with stealthing a V3 and 6V lately...
