Re: [ARSCLIST] Requiem for the DAT (redux, was Storage of audio CDs)

$200 plus shipping? But with the Burnit do you need it? Happy to unload 
it... even if I'll suddenly need it the day after sale!

Tell me, have you ever compared the SRC on the HHB with SRC in 
computer, or via analog transfer? I am curious. I don't get that much 
call, and the clients I see are not archival or audiophile and alwways 
go away happy - and even come back 90% of the time!

Let me know if you are seriously interested.
