Re: Olympus LS-14 initial thoughts

This thread runs and runs. I can't beleive that there is much 
difference between "pocket" recorders with mic level inputs. They are 
not going to be properly impedance matched, and the very noisy digital 
circuits are physically close to the preamps.

What is needed seems to be an external quality stereo mic preamp 
feeding into the recorder line input, but from the even greater iRig 
pre correspondence I'm not sure if that is a solution either. :-)

I'm spoilt as I have a (secondhand) SQN pro mixer which is a joy to 
use with fully balanced matched inputs, mic powering and inaudible 
noise even with an input attenuator in. There must be an affordable 
equivaent on the market.
