About portable digital recorders: There is a new machine out there that I would encourage anyone with the budget to check out - the Sound Devices 722 and 744 portable recorders. http://www.sounddevices.com/products/7.htm These are more serious recording devices, with price tags to match - the 722 lists for $2650, the 744 for $4250 (street prices slightly lower) - but remember, when portable DAT recording first became available, the Sony D10 cost about $2500 in 1989 dollars... Sound Devices has been known for years for their high-quality portable mic pre's, field mixers, and the like... Also (FWIW) at a recent AES meeting in NYC, a couple of elder audio gurus were discussing the Marantz PMD660 ($450), and seemed to think that the built-in mic pre's were noticably substandard. Not sure if Marantz has improved this with the PMD 670 ($700) or 671 ($1000). http://www.d-mpro.com/users/folder.asp?FolderID=3629&CatID=19&SubCatID=180 http://www.d-mpro.com/users/folder.asp?FolderID=1582&CatID=19&SubCatID=180 http://www.d-mpro.com/users/folder.asp?FolderID=3689&CatID=19&SubCatID=180 dave nolan nyc
