Very good. Marantz PMD 661 and Tascam DR100 MKII have been recommended, I will search and check those out, any other recommendations?
Basically what I am trying to do is simplify my recording gear. I used to have a minidisc (used mic and line inputs) as well as a better quality rig that included the UA-5 and JB3 (I used the phantom power for that one, and that has pretty nice pre-amps). I am trying to replace all of that in one shot and have a more simple easy to use option (not so many cables!)
