Yes, that gear is very good. Don=C2=B4t forget the cable, XLR fame to 1/4 =

thank U. Your analysis is very clear and logical. I decide to buy a better =

pcm m10. U think this set is ok?

To me, the logic seems to be either:
A. Buy a good XLR capable recorder and get by with a lesser microphone now=
B. Buy a good microphone and get by with a lesser recorder for now
If you go with the first option, you could get your Sennheiser ME67/K6 and =
get by with an Olympus LS recorder for now. When you are ready, you could =
move up to a quieter XLR capable recorder. (I suggested the Tascam as a re=
corder roughly equivalent to the Olympus but with XLR capability).
If you go with the second option and buy the Marantz, you could get by with=
a less expensive microphone for now (although if you go too cheap on mics =
the quality drops off fast!) and upgrade the microphone when you can.
But I don't see the point in buying a more expensive non-XLR recorder now. =
If you do that you are guaranteeing you will have to replace both the reco=
rder and the mic.
Buy the cheaper recorder and learn the craft. Like with camera gear, good =
field craft trumps good gear. You will be able to get some outstanding rec=
ordings of owls and other birds with an Olympus LS-12 or similar recorder. =

Jacek,
I might offer another suggestion that could meet all of your needs now and =
give you room to step up later. I recently purchased a Tascam DR-40 record=
er based on some favorable reviews I had read. My previous recorders were =
an Olympus LS-10 and Olympus LS-11 but I wanted to move up to an phantom po=
wer XLR connection without breaking the bank. I have used all three of the=
se recorders with their built in mics and with a Sennheiser ME66/K6 combo. =
I have found the Tascam DR-40 to be a little bit quieter than the Olympus. =
I am no audiophile, certainly, but when I record with both recorders side =
by side (built in mics) I generally don't see a huge difference in sound qu=
ality and if I observe any difference at all I think the Tascam gives me cl=
eaner, quieter audio than the Olympus LS-11.
You might ask yourself if you really need the extra reach of the ME67 over =
the ME66. For birds that are more distant, you might be happier with a pa=
rabolic microphone setup instead of a shotgun anyway. I have recorded quit=
e a few owls with the ME 66..
So for a little bit more than the LS-12, you could buy a Tascam DR-40 and s=
till buy the ME67/K6 combo. So with the Tascam and the ME combo you would =
have phantom powered XLR connected microphone capability and get the benefi=
t of having a 4 channel recorder. You could also use non-phantom powered =
microphones (with XLR jacks) if needed.
Then you could "move up" later by either getting new mics or a new recorder=
without having to worry about getting new cables, phantom power, etc.. =
Certainly worth a look? I happened to get my Tascam DR-40 on sale for $17=
3 so look around if you are investigating.

What do you think is better - buy marantz pmd 661 + rode ntg-2 or buy cheap=
