Even though it somehow feels" right" to spend a lot on the RECORDER
for making good recordings, I feel the mics are the place to invest
in quality these days at least.  If you listen to the A/B comparison
tests between the $2400 and $200 recorder and can say to yourself,
"You know, I really do hate that extra noise introduced by the mic
pre in that $200 recorder," then-- maybe you should wait and save up
for the $2400 recorder rather than invest $800-1300USD into a
recorder that _might_ cut that horrible increase in noise in half?
