Hi, all,

With all the iPods and other HD recorders out there, you'd think that one of
them would have tumbled to the idea that you could also do decent recordings
from a mic using one of their units. But from what I can tell, they use
4kHz sampling rates, low bit rates, etc.

There are some minidisk recorders out there that have mini plugs for
microphones, and apparently have a better quality that they record at.

But...if you were looking for a basic mono or stereo recorder that had
pretty decent sound, and was hopefully smaller than the typical DAT or
cassette recorder, what would you look at?

The recorders might not be as small as you want... but this is a great
place to do some homework on the PDAudio, Marantz and Fostex portable
units.
