I bought one of these on ebay a good while back and now that I've finally got around to trying it out I'm finding the the input overloads at just about any level. I have an lxp-5 that works just fine so it's not an operator issue. Any good advice on getting it serviced w/o spending close to what...

Sounds good. I may get the DMP3 now and a Meek threeQ when they come out for a different flavor.

Is the dmp3 worth the extra $$?

I'm running my MR-8 into a pair of powered Yorkville monitors and the sound is horribly distorted. The wav files are fine. Seems like a few of us are having problems with this.

Out of the handful of mics I own that's the one I'd choose.

A $59 tube pre from Musician's Friend and a cheap condenser mic like a Studio Projects B1 (good all-purpose mic) would be an amazing improvement. No matter what recorder you have you still need a pre and a good mic.

For more of Gretsch-type tone you could put a set of TV Jones TV'trons in it. StewMac stocks them now. Or Fralin Unbuckers, or dimarzio Bluesbuckers. But really, I think you should just sell me that guitar...my email is eblewett@nc.rr.com

Does your starfire have humbuckers or the white-top deArmonds??

The zoom 123 has very natural drum sounds and a button to turn off the cheezy bass track if you don't want it. Best drum machine I've ever heard.

Hard to believe the internal mic sounds that good. I'm currently using a minidisc to capture ideas but with the MR-8 it would be easy to get the basic idea down, then layer up a few tracks to fill it out.

I ordered one from them last night for $865.99. The alto web site doesn't show it so I read the first few posts from this thread to the sales dude and he broke down and gave it to me for the price others paid. Also got a MXL 603 for $74.99.
