"A breathtakingly designed recorder that transforms recording into a tactile experience. Plagued by QC issues and mechanical noise."
Should You Buy It?
Buy if you are a luxury-gear enthusiast who values aesthetics over utility.
Skip if you expect professional reliability or need SD card slots.
Critical Analysis
