The information posted in this link
http://www.fostex.com/mercuryboard/index.php?a=topic&t=2961appears to be copied verbatim from the Musician's Friend
web page about the FR-2LE.
Unfortunately many of the specs on this page refer to the FR-2
rather than the FR-2LE. I think that where they had no
information for Fostex, the Musican's Friend folks just used
the FR-2 spec sheet. For example, check the dimensions
and the Signal to Noise ratio numbers -- both copied from the
FR-2 page. (Sure would be nice if the FR-2LE's pre is as good
as big brother FR-2!)
My conclusion is to take all specs with a healthy dose of skepticism
until they appear on an official Fostex web page.
