How many channels? What's your definition of "really good" and "affordable"? They are incompatible to my mind. I'd suggest you lose the last requirement. Just record raw, and compress later. Or look at obsolete MD (minidisk) systems, which used a decent lossy format. The least expensive fairly high quality approach for Stereo is to use a Laptop with decent sound card/PCMCIA But that isn't going to provide phantom power. Next up would be a USB or firewire input device, many of these have XLR connections and phantom power, but they start at about $500. Do you really need phantom power? That limits your choices a lot.
