hey all, i'm looking for a good tool to record on location. i need
only one (stereo) input, and i wanna have the quality of digital sound
of 44.1 khz, 16 bit or more...
also it would be cool if i can connect condensator mics, so phantom
power would be cool...


How much money/time/space do you have? If you're dreaming of and "I
only need . . . " price, dream on. This product category is becoming
split in two directions - on the low end, toys, and on the high end,
products that are targeted to the film sound market (though there's a
range of low to high there).

Marantz and Fostex both make recorders that use a flash memory card
(the Fostex can take a micro drive but I don't recall the Marantz
makes that claim), Sound Devices has a two-channel hard disk recorder,
and Edirol has recently come up with a couple of attractive units, one
in the "advanced toy" category, one in the "low high end" category,
with four channels.

But the world is still waiting for the replacement for the
professional grade portable DAT recorder.
