Dave,
The Sound Professionals is a good place to start:
http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/category.cgi?category=3D0
You might have discerned from some of the responses in this group that
mic preamps can be a weak link in the chain; and, The Sound
Professionals have addressed that issue with some 'home-grown'
products that they offer to augment some of the recorders.
It's a good company to work with, and one heck of a fun Web site to surf.
