Yeh! And I would take a recommendation on my next purchase on a guess! BTW: I had a PTP and gae it back due to it's crappy firmware and terrible navigational structure.
Brand loyalty is one thing, and making irronious reccomendations is another. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Noonan" <t...@timnoonan.com.au> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 5:35 PM Subject: RE: Digital recorders again - Plextalk Pocket and Olympus DS-71 I would guess, in the absence of no hard comparative data, that the audio recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the Olympus DS-71, which I do have. I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a degree of background hiss (preamp noise or circuit noise). This is the case when set to wave recording and manual mic input levels. Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in port, so I am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are using an attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels? That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways, and for so many reasons: its extraordinarily flexible and effective voice recording capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and especially its super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device. Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording level feedback are features unique to the Plextalk recorders.

Agreed! accessability is a very important factor but it doesn't equate to performance. I use the olympus DS-71 which does an excellent job for both mike and line in recordings. Yes, you can monitor through headphones. I also like the fact that it uses AAA batteries that makes it easy to swap them out if needed. I hear the Edital R9 is also a nifty unit G-Doggy-dog! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Toews" <br...@ogts.net> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 12:01 PM Subject: Re: Digital recorders again. That statement should probably be qualified: It may well be the most excellent recording device in its class on the market, I couldn't say but have no reason to believe otherwise, but there are better recording devices on the market. Sweeping statements are dangerous.
