My best guess is that it is easier to measure gear and not so easy to measure performance, as that can be highly subjective. Do you sound how? I found your message articulate (it's why you made the cut) and the audio quality overall is certainly lacking, as I was using the small hand-held Xacti instead of a big recording rig. I like being able to whip something out of my purse when the conversation is happening in real time, and hope my interviewees can forgive the ambient noises and less than perfect pitch. :-) being a new media guru yourself, I suspect you can understand all this and your question was in jest! @Jackie – I like consensus too on this point, though I do know someone out there could make a case for the equipment, otherwise it wouldn’t be such an entrenched practice.

(Do I really sound like that?)
