I agree the PMD670's mic preamp adds too much noise. But it's a rugged
and reliable field companion.  The PMD670's line input and digital
input work well with an external preamp. Be careful of very short
battery life, perhaps 2 hours when operating on the internal AA
battery sled.

In contrast, the newer PMD671 has much better mic preamps, improved
battery life, and digitizes up to 24/96.  It's a much better choice,
and available today for as little as $700.
