Hi Dani,
I use a Telinga Twin science and the mic of choice a Telinga stereo dat
mic.
My recorders is a Sony MZ-R50 which is a bit out of fashion but of very goo=
d
quality and available used on eBay for under $50 us.
Cornell has used several of my recordings on there CD's which speaks well
for my equipment, but better mics and recorders are available but at a much
higher price and the difference in my opinion is not worth it.
Look below for my opinion's on your questions.
Good luck and my very best regards,
