Thank you everybody for your answers.
jmbell: I'd be using the recorder to record my singing practice (opera), using the internal mics most of the time. I might invest in some external mics at some point, but it's not budgeted yet...
I knew most people on this post preferred the M10 (I read everything...), but I still doubted because of that cello recording: has anybody tried to listen to the cello recording on the Wingfield website to see what I was talking about? Here is the link:
http://www.wingfieldaudio.com/portable-recorder-sound-samples.htmlCan somebody explain to me why the M10 sounds so weak in the middle range and why, when listening to the M10, PCM-D50 and LS-11, the LS-11 seems closer to the D50 than the M10 does, please?
Has somebody some samples of something recorded both (and at the same time) on the M10 and on the LS11, please?
THANK YOU ALL!
