Hi Rob,
I think I just got bitten by the same gremlin - I posted a reply to this a =
while ago, but it seems to have disappeared too... I'll try to recap bri=
efly, in case this ends up as a dupe:

Thanks - actually a long time lurker but haven't posted for a few years...!

Will likely use built-ins a lot - and doing a mix of urban and nature (ambi=
ence).
I do have Senn 60/30 MS and AT 3031 XY pair, but don't use either much now =
- hope to replace the Senns with a high quality single point stereo if I ca=
n find the right one..

, it's down to the recorder, and for that the D50 fits my budget, if it's t=
he best choice
Thanks again for the help and interest.
