I think having allowed the dust settle a bit, I would like to ask the obvious question that I know several folks have asked themselves: Knowing what you now know or have experienced with the JVC RS-20/HD-750, would you purchase this unit/ again, and if not, what might be your first or second choice as an alternative ?
I just have to say that this unit, as a strong perspective buyer, is a disappointment from what was portrayed by JVC, and Lawguy so eloquently articulated the point. I feel bad for Mike, Kutlow especially, and others in what they have gone through. Tom feels that color and other aspects of this unit are still superior to the RS-1/2, and that's good to hear ! I feel like I might owe SOWK an apology as I may have been to rough on him pronouncing the RS-20 (paraphrasing) as a little better (but not a big jump) than RS-1/2, but not a leap (time may possibly say otherwise, we can hope).
So I put the question out there for the forum. If this is a place for venting, so be it, but maybe limit the vitrol.
