I like this unit more and more!
aaah, excellent!!! that seemed like a really bad problem for a newly released audio recorder to be sold with... :-) glad to hear it's not an issue. I have enough recording inputs in my studio that I'd never be recording with it plugged in to a power supply, anyway. if I got it, would be 100% for recording out and about sounds.

that said - why are they selling it even with a power adapter that makes noise in that frequency range??!



anyway - I'm also very keen to hear your thoughts on the internal mics vs running with externals (and which externals) because the thing that pushes his over the line past similar units for me is the built in mics, and the rubberised body for reduced handling noise (which again, is just about the interenal mics) if I was going to use it with external mics anyway, then I could easily go for something a lot cheaper.
