Hi--
I'd consider a Sony PCM-M10 http://tinyurl.com/24ucxz6 and a pair
of Telinga "clip-ons" mics http://tinyurl.com/2dxwt6m. The M10's
internal mics are about as low-noise as the built-in mics go and the
Telinga's can be used binaurally and will connect easily. Should you
decide to use bigger, quieter mics down the road, the M10 recorder
will support them with a portable phantom power supply. Rob D.
