Well, this makes me rethink my choices.  I'm going to have another look at =
the PMD661.  I was favoring the fr2-le because it slightly quieter and has =
a little higher dynamic range.  I want to do acoustic, classical, jazz, and=
 nature recording, so "quiet" is important to me.  (Just can't afford an SD=
722 . . . yet)
