PSA:

Tape over your auto levels switch. I was always fine in the past but had some issues the other night. Probably a bit more of a factor of my attire, but even if you never run your M10 in an article of clothing there is no reason not to.

Yeah, all my buttons on the back are taped over w/ packaging tape. I need to get some gaff tape Where is the best place to get a good deal on 2" gaff tape

Good advice, Mike.  I taped over mine about a month ago just so I could stop checking them before every show.

you can buy it at guitar center for those prices
but i have not seen it under 12-15 in a long time so maybe 20ish is the going rate now

Permacel, best brand of gaff. strong, adhesive works well in wide range of temperatures, and the adhesive doesn't gum up gear.

Music stores, theatrical supply houses, but mail order is probably best bet.

Yeah, I agree. I have never seen any at a regular box store but I did pick up a roll at a local production house years ago before i discovered taping.

Not the easiest stuff to come by.  If I can throw another source into the ring, B&H also has it.  I've been using just the general brand 2" for the past few years and it works great.  Prices are pretty good, too. > http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=gaffers+tape&N=0&InitialSearch=yes

+T B&H has the best selection and prices

I just ordered 2 rolls from http://www.findtape.com/ .

This thread is now so long I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this
FYI:

http://kenrockwell.com/audio/sony/pcm-m10.htm#perf

this guy usually posts about photo gear (his main work backround is in pro video sales and design).  His post on the M-10 is generally appreciative, but since he's proud of not having read the manual, he makes a few mistakes about usage and features (e.g. he praises the 'true - spaced pair - stereo'.

I include the link because he used some decent pro test gear to make some measurements that may be useful or of interest to other users here.

I used to like reading reading reviews and watching videos on some particular gadget I possibly wanted, but then I came to the conclusion the person doing the review doesn't actually know a lot about it. A site dedicated to a specific thing like cameras or audio recorders could be different, but really I think they are writing the reviews to have something on their site, not to actually care about the product.
