Robin, thanks for sharing your experiences with the Zoom H2.  

What gain setting did you use when recording?  The posts I've read
elsewhere say the H2's best recordings (that is, the best balance of
self-noise and high volume) are made at a gain setting of 100.  Above
100 and the self-noise becomes intrusive. Below 100 (or thereabouts),
the record level decreases.  When I had an H2 for a few days, I liked
the results with a gain setting of 95.
