Dear Klas,Thank you for such a swift and positive response. I am very much =
a lightweight (literally and metaphorically) amateur sound recordist. I use=
 a Olympus LS14 and Marantz PMD 660 with a homemade lightweight SASS rig ba=
sed on a pair of Primo omnis, a shotgun mic and JrF contact mics and hydrop=
hone.A high class stereo mic with various configurations available=A0sounds=
 amazing. I know that an SD is out of my budget and couldn't find a Tascam =
FR2LE in my searches. I did find a Fostex FR2LE and maybe these are one and=
 the same? Would this stereo mic work with the Marantz (would it do it just=
ice!). Your advice would be very much appreciated.With best wishesPeter
