Thanks guys, a work in progress on+on+on..Ian,my HHB died,something to do with the laser

.I emailed HHB and that's what they figured out.Nice recorder).
I miss it

.They have had a newer,forget the #(1200.00) one out for awhile but they have been having troubles with it.I ordered one thru Long&Mcquade Ltd.in the fall.I cancelled it a few months ago,as they didn't know when she'd be fixed up.I'm still on the hunt for another recorder.Heard there's a few more out there,I assume they'll be produced less+less.
Perhaps Bryston will make some kind of digital storage recording device,
The all in one BDSR,BRYSTON DIGITAL STORAGE RECORDER,sound good to me.
