If you want Nagra, get the real thing, ie the Nagra V.
Else you'd probably want to get the SoundDevices stuff. Even their cheapest recorder, the 702, is, according to a friend, a great unit.
If money is an issue, "reasonable" recorders would be the Tascam HD-P2 or Fostex FR-2. |
The NAgra BB will soon be no more I think - the new
Nagra LB is about to be relrased and is slightly cheaper - and 24/192 capable.
I have got the
Nagra VI at the moment, which is superb and better than the Nagra V, I think; but a bit too big for the person who started the thread.
