Been taping with Rode NT4->SonyD8 DAT for at least 2.5 years now. I describe them as a set of ears, to me they reproduce the show from the Aud just as its mixed in the venue. Until i have 6 grand to drop on a all digi setup i have no complaints. Small bars or big festivels they work great IMO. Just got my JB3 and will be taping Billy Mckay Band Fri. at a tiny pub across the street from the Brewery i brew for. Give me a shout and i will let you judge for yourself. Also have several Shady Deal shows in circ. on archive.org if you want to listen. The NYE show was a little rough due to a long narrow room with low ceiling and a boatload of people, i had to tape @ the back of the room. But Riverport, Telluride & The Sheridan, The Ryman, The Pageant, The Fox St. Louis and Fillmore in Denver, and lots of little bars i have never had anyone say the quality was not good.
