SP-TFB-2 with Edirol R-09HR or Olympus LS-10 ?

["paulmcnelis" paulmcnelis]

Hello!

I plan to purchase the SP-TFB-2 binaural mics and either the Edirol R-09HR =
or the Olympus LS-10.

I plan to record anything nature - birds, frogs, thunder, rain, streams, et=
c.

I have just 1 question:

I read somewhere (forget now) that the Olympus mic jack or line input (whic=
hever the SP-TFB-2 would get plugged into) has very low sound when it comes=
 to ambient and quiet sounds. Is this true?

I'm just a regular joe with a job, mortgage, wife and kid, and looking to d=
o this as a hobby.

We are going to the ocean this year on vacation and I want to record everyt=
hing possible down there (surf, seagulls, amusement rides, arcade, boardwal=
k, etc. etc.)

My mind is kind of made up on the Olympus, but I just need to know if it's =
good for quiet forest ambience, streams, leaves rustling maybe.

Thanks a lot!
