Title: Fostex FR-le2 or Microtack II if you had you choice?
Post by: cavernut on May 03, 2014, 07:28:57 PM: I can get either one for the same price, almost.. around $99 bucks… Both are out of the box with no accessories..
Both have been sitting in a display case for about a decade……

My original 2007 review (published in LineUp magazine) is HERE (http://www.ips.org.uk/files/06_Fostex_FR-2LE_Portable_Recorder.pdf) should you wish to read it.
