Updated 4/10/2024

The Verdict

"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

The peak of gear porn. The motorized wheel is its soul and its death rattle, often grinding and ruining recordings. Lack of SD slot is insulting at $1,500. It's fashion-first, function-second.
