Yes, Robin, I agree. This is why I have not yet decided on a small recorder=
 to replace my minidisc. None of the currently-produced, low-cost units get=
s it quite right for me. The LS-5 might do it if it were available in the U=
S. The LS7 would if it had a line input.

Marco, I have found these tests very helpful, especially to have both the e=
arlier test to demonstrate sonic image, and the later test to demonstrate s=
elf noise. The earlier test clearly showed the inferior image from the PCM-=
M10 and Roland R-05. Very quiet, but very monophonic. Did either recorder d=
isplay more than one Brini-sonel?
