Hi hagai loyewski--
Assuming you'll need to invest in a completely other system if you
get the bug, I'd build a very expensive system because it won't make
an audible difference without spending some money for better mics,
especially.
Maybe a used MD or Hi-MD recorder (~$50) or Zoom H2 and DIY electret
mics
