I'm ready to schedule a test including as many units as we can get 
hand. So far, we have:
SD 722 - reference
Sony NH700 Hi-MD/Rolls
Sharp MT-90 MD/Rolls
Nagra M (Dan)
Ambient 660 (Oade-modified Marantz 660) - Oryoki
MicroTrack 2496

Some other <$1000 recorders that would be useful to include:
Tascam HD-P2 HDP2
Marantz 671
Marantz 6710
Mic2496->  Ikey Audio  
Edirol R-09
Edriol R-4
Marantz PMD660
Sony MD /Rolls
HHB MDP500 Minidisc (current used price is less than $1000)

Let me know, off-list <>, if you have an above recorder 
you could send to Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA and we'll work out a date 
that is agreeable with everyone. Rob D.
