Lily,
I received this note from Olympus support back in July:
"Dear John,
The LS-10S recorder in the LS-10S kit, is the same as the LS-10, but does n=
ot ship with the Steinberg Cubase LE software that shipped with the LS-10, =
thereby reducing the price."
Therefore it does not seem that the LS-10S benefits from some of the improv=
ements that were incorporated in the LS-11 and the LS-5 in Europe (e.g. lon=
ger battery life, better low frequency response, larger internal memory). T=
here is a hole in the Olympus America lineup caused by the demise of the LS=
-11. Maybe the new LS-14 fills that hole, but has anyone tested it to see h=
ow it performs?
My experience with the LS-11 - perhaps a little different than others - is =
that it is simply quietest when on gain setting "10" regardless of whether =
the sensitivity is set to high or low. However, because in most situations =
"High 10" leads to signal clipping, "Low 10" has become my default setting.

nd also like Vicky, I think it's something that in our line of recording is=
completely irrelevant. My advice would be, if you can pick up an LS-1O che=
aply do so; I don't think you'd regret it. It's superbly built, and is appa=
rently more user friendly than the latest 100. From what I've read, that's =
a nightmare.
