Lily,
Note that my self-noise tests are mainly aimed at recording soft animal sou=
nds,
in which this noise floor is one of the most important things to consider.=
However, I guess that recording (loud) music would be a different matter, w=
here
those noise figures are not that important.
In any case, I think that both the Sony PCM-M10 and the Olympus LS-11 have =
a
much better build quality than the less expensive Tascam DR-05 and (probabl=
y)
the Zoom H1. Unfortunately, I have never used any of the Zoom recorders. So=
, I
can't comment on that.
Regards,
Raimund
