Heya, So I bought a Sony recorder from Best Buy for $100 and it sucks ass... a friend of mine directed me towards this link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...boutThisProduct ^ The sound quality of that is amazing! However, being the person I am I tried looking for ones similiar in Tigerdirect and Newegg and found the following: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16873100014 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...&CatId=2472 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...&CatId=2472 ^WTF is the diff b/w the above two??? Anywayz so they all look kinda the same to me... except for the one on Amazon has a lower VN number... not sure what that means... so if I were to compare all four which is what? Any advice would be appreciated Thanks

Just read them through, look them up on internet. Possibly go to company's site, and look them up. You could also call for help about the products.
I see so it's different colors and sizes... so how does the one from Amazon compare 'cause I can't find the specifications? Eitherway thanks
