Ah hi Howard. Ah the good old trusty DM-520. I too had 1. I had the 420
before. Meh I don't know why Olympus made 2. They were basically the
same thing but the 520 did a few more things and the reason I prefered
it is that it did LPCM WAV. Of course only at CD or DVD quality. But hay
DVD is better then your usual Olympus stuff. The 720 like the P-4 takes
1 triple A and is small. The sound of the 720 and the LS-p4 is too mini
me for my liking. I'm sure 1 can get these older recorders on Ebay. Hell
I've even seen the DM-620 on Amazon.

I bought an Olympus DM-520 (I think was the number) about ten years
ago. It was a great tiny device and I used it to record everything.
Recently, the power slide switch has stopped working. It's a
mechanical switch with some sort of spring to make it return to a
center position. Contacting the Olympus distribution point, I found
that they no longer support that model and they suggest I purchase a
DM-720 as a replacement. After the covid thing goes away, I will have
a friend take a look at the switch. If he can't do anything with it,
I'll see if I can justify buying the newer model.

Hello,
I am still in the market for a new recorder. I did look at zooms but
I'm needing menu accessibility with my recorder, I'm not really
needing an app or anything like that I am just looking for a
standalone recorder.
What are opinions on current Olympus recorders?
Thanks.
Dave.
