looking for a good field recorder

[Roland]

Check out the HHB ones. A friend of mine reviewed one for Audio Media then bought it. He thought it was good.

How about an iBook and a mBox?

I've been playing with the Marantz PMD670. It's a great little machine; XLR mic ins with phantom, built-in mic and speaker for rough and ready stuff, PCM or MP3 recording, the latter with selectable rates, battery lasts up to 6 hours. Digital I/O on sp/dif, and a USB2.0 connection so that your files appear straight onto your PC desktop. Takes flashcards or microdrives up to 8GB.

I'd be very tempted if I had the cash.

thanks all.

roland - which hhb did he try? the 8-channel 24/96 one or the minidisc?

atticus - i think even an ibook and mbox will be too clunky, despite the obvious sex appeal...

doug - how does it sound? certainly LOOKS like the most bang for the buck out of the whole crop of options.

[Roland]

Both!

My friend had the minidisc one and then tested the HD one.

I can never pass up an oportunity to suggest this.

It might be a little out of your price range at a rumored US$16k, but it has got to be the coolest-looking piece of gear ever.
