well maybe you can just purchase a sound professionals mic preamp to go on the ptr1. The only things different from what I have heard is the compact flash slot and the stereo mic input. You can purchase the cheapest preamp with mics for about $50 or you can get a battery box preamp with its own mics, and external jack for plugging in a mic and a bass roll off switch for about $220. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Parr" <philparr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 8:44 AM Subject: Re: Just wondering. Actually I probably will keep my old p t r and just take it to the studio for backup purposes. I have been backing up on dat tape and one of those machines is slowly dying. I still would like to here from persons who have, or have had both and some comments about the differences.
