Hi
The increase in noise that was measured was 2dB! I doubt very much if you w=
ould ever hear that. He measured the MZ RH1 noise as being -122 dBu so duri=
ng the time it writes to disc this is going to be -120 dBu ! Still pretty d=
arn good!

What I was refering to was a +2dB increase in the noise on the
inputs, every 6 seconds or so when recorder writes to disc rather
than a noise emanating from the player.

The RH1 does look like the best way to go in many respects, but I was
curious if the supposedly noisy inputs and the motor noise refered to
above made it a less than optimal choice at that price point. I
guess not!
Thanks
