Well I just had a look through the manual and it doesn't say anything about a memory buffer. However, it has seemed to me that it cuts off perhaps 15% of what the marantz cut off. The marantz seemed to lose almost the full first second whereas the sony seems to cut off very little (if anything) at all.

The sony also has a digital eq for when you're recording through the analogue inputs. And it also has sony's 'super bit mapping' when recording in analogue. But you don't have to use the sbm if you don't want to.

I must say that after only a day or so; I am very happy with this product. It feels like it's built better then the marantz and actually feels more 'pro' then 'pro-sumer', which is the way the marantz felt. And most importantly, it has accepted any cdr i've tried. it also burns them without the loud whirring noise and odd pitch sound that the marantz made. This sony's very quiet.

As far as the free walkman, maybe that's a U.S. only promotion? I'm in Canada and heard nothing of it. (gee.......maybe that's why the dealer hurriedly ripped walkman headphones off his ears and threw them on the floor as soon as he spotted me walking back in there today?.....just kidding of course:-) what walkman are they giving away? tape or cd?
