Hey and don't forget the iRiver series of recorders. Of course we can 
discuss more with Shane about Rock Bo later. I also want to mention the Plex 
Talk player. Don't remember the model, but its accessible. Your bro in

Hey, Jerry,

    We are still shopping, but we are considering the Sound Devices 722,
which has a startling price tag of about $2,500.  We are also considering
the Marantz PMD 670, which is a popular field recorder among broadcast
journalist.  At last check, it retails for about $800 to $900, which is
quite a bit less.  On the low end, we are also considering a Fostex unit,
which is actually an eight track unit, but only capable of recording two
tracks at a time... price tag of about $199.

    As you can tell, it can vary quite a bit.  My fiancee has differing
needs, than do I, because I am also a musician, and do quite a bit of multi
track recording.

    There you have it, and I hope it helps you a bit... we are off to a live
recording gig for my Honey, but I will check email again tomorrow!

Legendary
