Over at taperssection.com the R-09 and microtrack are being discussed at le=
ngth. The
microtrack does not have many fans there for various reasons: noisy preamps=
, noisy line
in, software glitches, and in one instance an exploding battery!

the r-09 is very new, so there is less info about use in the field, but pre=
liminary reports
are promising.
