Unfortunately, as others have stated, speech compression is poor. This is
terribly unfortunate, because this is a nice machine, a very good recorder,
and well-designed externally. But it achieves its speech compression by
clipping the phonemes from the sound file. At speeds which I could
theoretically listen with understanding, that is, the stream is playing at a
speed which, with decent speech compression, I could understand, the PTP1 is
unusable.

Subject: PT pocket playback playback
All,
I did some music recording and playback testing over the weekend and
most of my impressions of playback quality are very favorable. (more on
the results later)
Yes, there is an analog to digital converter and several levels of
amplification between the source digital signal and your phones and any
one of them could be of poor quality. At one time it was important to
watch the distortion and frequency response specs of this kind of
equipment to detect cheap parts or poor design. However, , although it
is still possible to cut corners, the situation is changing. Remember,
our industry standard is currently a $50 player the Ipod. And it does
a pretty fair job. At some point that we are rapidly approaching,
unless your player comes in a cracker jack box or a MacDonald's happy
meal the playback quality will be pretty good. If the total playback
system comes on a standard chip that only costs a couple of dollars it
just makes no sense to make compromises.
I made tests
with my Koss porto pro, pioneer px100 and a $200 set of Sony studio
headphones and all 3 machines, the PTR1 the PTR2 and the PTP1 performed
very well playing back the wave files that I was using to make my
tests.

The quality of the amplifier built into the machine certainly makes a
difference whether you use good quality headphones or not. Things like
distortion, frequency response etc.
One of the things I would like to have had on the ptr2 is a proper line
out
socket.

The music is digital, what would be the difference in players besides
head phones.
Did you say the pocket does not tell you in hours and minutes how
much
recording time is available. That is one of the things I really like
about
the p t r 1 and 2.
