i just want something small, that i could fit in my purse or something like that. i don't really know much about taping gear at all. a friend of mine has an MD deck, and his recordings turn out pretty damn good. so maybe something like that?

SoundPro AT 853's > batt box > MD (your going to want a JB3 soon after)

you may even be able to find a JB3 on ebay fairly cheap, say only $50-75 more than a MD and its deffinetly worth it!

The CSC/CSB are Core Sounds Cardioids or Core Sound Binaurals, which can be obtained from Core Sounds:
http://www.core-sound.com/

Alternatively, there are other places that sell the mini stealth-type mics... SoundProfessionals comes to mind.

I'm not a stealth taper, so I can't really help you out but there are plenty on here who are.

So whose got his/her heady stealth rig, brah?

The JB3 is shorthand for the Creative Nomad Jukebox 3, which was discontinued about a year ago or so. You can still find them refurb'ed direct from Creative on eBay, or they pop up here from time to time. They're great because not only have they proven themselves as a stable recording platform, they're also a discman-sized portable mp3/wav player!

Google is a wonderful thing...

You can get a minidisc player cheap and a pair of Giant Squid mics.  That's probably as cheap as you can get...

Ah...timing is everything.  Glad to see you found the FAQs.  The NJB3 is just a (hard drive) recorder, similar to MD or DAT but doesn't require removable media.  Transfers to your PC for ultimately burning to CDR are very easy, more so than MD or DAT.  There's also a thread in the Archival Info forum titled something like "stealth gear references".  Check it out, too.  Read through the FAQs and scan through the stealth posts and if you still have questions (likely!), fire away.  :)

thank you everyone! god...this place is awesome. ;D

...anyways, i really want to get to buying my gear...the csb/csc mics are a bit pricey for me...but the SoundPro AT 853's  seem reasonable. my problem is...they don't give a lot of info about them on the website. do they COME with a batt box? does anyone know? heh. *feels dumb*
