Hi Ray,

No, I am not going to be dismissive about the PTR2, I think Plextalk make
the best Daisy players in the world, and they are the only recorders to have
speaking record level controls, and I do own a PTR1.  I certainly wouldn't
choose either though as a location recorder, because of their size and the
quality is not up to the Edirol, that was my main point.  But the PTR1 and 2
are great players/recorders, if a little expensive.  They also don't have
built in stereo mics, as do the Edirols, so don't lend themselves to
immediate and fast sound capture in a wireless fashion.  I love the fact
with the Edirol that I can take it out of my pocket, much like a sighted
person does a camera, and immediate be recording in about five seconds.

All the best

Steve, to be fair to me, I don't think I exactly said the PTr2 was a
replacement for the R1, simply the nearest thing to it in terms of a card
recorder, although of course it has the CD recording facility too.  Yes, the
PTR2 is larger but does have the advantage, as far as some are concerned, of
being able to record to CD and act as a CD drive when attatched to a
computer.

It is accessible too, although the early models did have anoying and
unnecessary prompts.  There shouldn't be any guess work when uisng the PTR2.
I hope you aren't going to come back and display dismissiveness about
acfcessability in this context because I'm sure many find the PTR2 quite a
good deal over most if not all portable recorders for knowing what's going
on.For what it does it doesn't seem to carry a rediculous premium for this
accessability factor.

Hi Ray,
To say the PTR2 matches the Edirol in any way is pure silliness.  The PTR
can't record in straight wave, it has too many moving parts, and is just too
darned bulky.  Good for recording Daisy, but I wouldn't use it for location
recording.  The appeal of the Edirol is that you can just pull it out of
your pocket, and capture sound.  There are very few devices that let you
capture sound with reasonable quality, without having wires everywhere.
All the best
