I don't get this whole "check out a $200 recorder, does it sound as good as=
a nagra/sounddevices/marantz etc.. " mentality.=0D
Seriously, if I want a pro sounding recorder/preamp/mic I go out and buy on=
e. Not one unit but the best sounding recorder & preamp & mic.=0D

This is relevant from the first paragraph of the article:=0D
" In other comparisons I=E2=80=99ve done the lower priced battery powered g=

audio interface, even when using the same mics. But technology moves on an=

plausible."=0D

If technology is making small, cheap recorders better then why not? For tho=
se of us with price and weight limits (and maybe the time to wait for a sol=
ution to come along), it's worth investigating.=0D
