1a. Re: Oh no - PCM-M10 discontinued. What to recommend instead?

Thanks - it's good to know about the ICD-SX2000 (and 1000)...
Definitely marketed as a high-end voice recorder, not to the "pro audio"
world - for instance there is no physical level control -
Also it looks like it's not distributed in the US, though I suppose it
could be ordered from asia or perhaps europe.
Those battery life and memory parameters would work OK for my typical use -
though I prefer AA batts and full-use memory slots.
Anyone have one?
The big questions:
- How does it sound?
- How does it compare to the PCM-M10, in terms of preamp quality and
conversion?
- How is battery life in the field? (Such a strong suit of the M10... I
just inadvertently left mine in sleep for three weeks, woke it up and was
able to record.)

Thank you for writing this, Gordon. I'm still in the introduction, but already
it's eye-opening.
