Awesome cricket recording, I like it very much.

Just curious, have other hobbyists been surprised that use a few low-cost mics 
with your 702? I actually love the idea, and your mic choices (as some are 
actually mics that I can afford as well!). They have produced great results for 
you. Have you received any comments in the past suggesting that you get more 
expensive mics to use with your SD 702? 

Best regards,

Al
