Michael--
It might be informative to search, "H2 line
external pre" in the list archive. I could detect
no additional noise in my comparison between
NT2000's ->MP-2-> (unbalanced line) H2 and
NT2000's ->MP-2-> (balanced line) 744T. The H2
has reliable, long-duration file handling and
simple button/menu usage. The H2 feels fragile,
especially its SD card cover, but my unit has
withstood a few drops.
One might suspect that the A-D in a more
expensive recorder like the Sony could sound
better,.. I'd be curious to hear a stringent
comparison of transient sounds myself,.. Curt was
the first to give positive accounts of the MP-2
->H2 combo and I concur. Rob D.
