Hi John. Igo through Omro pretty often to see friends up that 
direction. Mics have more impact on quality than recorders and should 
probably be considered at the same time. What type of recording are 
you doing/planning for? Do you have mics already, what kind?  or What 
is your total budget if you haven't bought anything yet?  Rob D.
