You could always invest in a plug-in power box from Sound Professionals, an=
d
use the recorder of your choice; they also make boxes that combine plug-in
power and preamplification, so you can use the line level input of your
recorder. With an RH1 I would just supply plug-in power as the preamps are
so good on the RH1.

They also now make a $70 cable that adapts phantom power to plug in power,
so you could use a recorder with phantom power and XLR inputs like the
FR-2LE... I got one of those cables but haven't tested it out yet, my
11-week-old daughter is sell the center of my universe... :)
