Hi,

I am fairly new to soundscape/nature recordings and would like some advice =
for buying the right equipment. I have used a Sony PCM-M10 for a year and w=
ould now like to get external mics. My main interest is nature soundscapes,=
 bird song etc, and I want to produce recordings for a normal loudspeaker s=
ystem (not headphones only). The neat Telinga clip-ons seem to be a nice st=
art, as they are both flexible and robust. But the capsules are apparently =
the same as in my Sony? Do I get any significantly better sound quality (wr=
t noise and stereo sound), or is the main advantage the flexibility of the =
external mics?
  What about using the Telinga Stereo Dat mic standalone (without a parabol=
a)? Another possibility is a so-called MS-rig, but that seems fairly expens=
ive and requires more post-processing, right? Any advice for a decent mic p=
air (or built-in one mic) for that? My budget is not that fixed, but up to =
around 1000 Euro or so.
