I own a Sony PCM-M10 and am very interested in low-noise portable kit for
it.  (and hence in your offering, Klas!)

Happy to test the PIP voltage if anyone can provide a methodology.  (I
assume the PIP circuit must be loaded for the measurement to be valid; what
to load it with?)

I have at my easy disposal:
 - radio shack digital volt-ohm meter
 - Shure WL-183 pair wired for minijack / PIP
 - Sanken COS-11 pair wired for minijack / PIP
