Re: better recorder or better microphone-dilemma

[williamsmartin69]

Jacek,
Eventhough I have just bought a Roland R-05, a collegue with an
older Marantz model (can't remember the model) advised to buy a
Marantz because of the XLR connectors. I agreed with him, as I
know the problems with mini-jack inputs. However I had the Roland
on order at the time and also there was a large difference in
price. Well next time around.

Hi, What do you think is better - buy marantz pmd 661 + rode
ntg-2 or buy cheaper recorder like olympus LS-12 or sony PCM 10
but with Sennheiser K6/ME67. Which solution will give me better
sound quality? I might add that I am most interested in recording
owls. In first line owls and then other birds. I think the first
solution is better because of xlr (in the future I could change
the microphone) , but if you have other experiences, suggestions
and tips then correct me.
