Hi Ed,
I have the PSD300, but haven't used it much yet and not at all for
direct recording. It's very high quality, of course, and I expect to get
some good use out of it in the near future. I'll be setting up a home
recording studio shortly and I'll be able to give you a better eval at that
time. If you have some specific questions on it or tests you'd like me to
perform let me know and I'll see what I can do. I haven't done anything
with the mini-disc system so can't help you there. If you want to email me
privately that's OK too.
Jerry

Subject: [kl] alternate recording technology

We have had a number of discussions about recording to mini-disc, or to
the computer hard drive, etc. I would like to hear some comments and
discussion about the technology of recording directly to CD-R or CD-RW.
Specifically, I wonder how people like the Superscope PSD300 in
comparison with the Sony mini-disc recorder.

The Superscope machine seems to have several interesting capabilities.
In playback, you can vary the tempo without changing the pitch, or
change the pitch without changing the tempo. It also has a built-in CD
duplicator. It has an internal microphone, but also has XLR and 1/4"
microphone/line inputs. In summary, it appears to be very flexible and
very useful.

Has anyone used it? How is the quality of recordings as compared to the
mini-disc system?
