The web site is www.soundprofessionals.com and they are $79. The site is not as screen reader-friendly as it could be but it is quite useable. I just ordered my mikes this past week. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Casey" <cwoll...@wi.rr.com>

Hi where can you get those mics that you just talked about in the message and about how much do they cost and can you still get a hold of them?

It is also easy to hook the recorder to your PC and transfer files from it for editing on the computer. I have been playing with the recorder set to low microphone sensitivity using the Sound Professionals SP-TFB-2 binaural microphones made famous by Larry Skutchan in most of his early Blind Cool Tech environmental podcasts or sound-seeing tours as they were called then. I had forgotten how stunningly good those mikes are and the recorder does them proud. I have not done any serious recording as of yet, but will pass along some listening samples as soon as I have something worth listening to. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Schindler" <garys5...@comcast.net>

I haven't seen the DM-520 yet, but will eventually get one for the reasons you have outlined. it isn't bad for the money. I think one of the things I like is the ability to split wave files into smaller ones. I think you can delete portions of a wave file too.

Actually the Olympus DM series is more a music than a voice machine - hence the M in its name. Though it isn't semi-pro in its recording capabilities.

I am interested, though, Have you personally used and compared both
machines?

I agree that the audio quality on the Pocket, if you add external mics may be superior, but it is much much larger than the Olympus and its in-built
mike capabilities I think are inferior to the Olympus.

As an all-rounder player and recorder, the Pocket has much to offer, but it is less convenient for quick recording tasks. the Olympus comes in to its own as a 'take-anywhere' real pocket-sized recorder, with excellent balance
of features and quality for high-quality voice capture.

the pocket is a good rugged machine. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one at all. I think in the long run, you would be better served by it as opposed to the
Olympus dm-520. the Olympus is still a voice recorder after all.

in what way do you have the mantiance issues, the plextalk pocket has
had
no issues that would not make it a viable recorder/ player, if you are
talking about firmware take a lookagain.

Well clearly these are for different markets. Your/our 520's aren't going to read NLS books. I will say that I have heard from a distance that the Plex has had maintenance issues. It seems to me that the booksense is a
fairly robust piece of equipment; I'd have looked at it if I did not
already
have a stream.

Peace and decisions.

I really would like to hear some comparisons between the Plextalk Pocket, the GW Book Sence and my dm-520. I actually wouldn't be suprised of one
of
the first two was as good or better at some things as the Olympus and
maybe
not far behind in other important areas.

So, I'll be glad to have a choice for talking book player/recorder now.

howard, the plextalk pocket can do everything you are wanting to do as
well.
and is also completely blind friendly.

Thanks to all who commented.  I guess I'll be looking closer to the
Olympus
520 and 420. The highest quality I want is when I bootleg concerts on occasion. Otherwise it'll be mostly voice: meetings and such. Would
like
to be able to use external mics and line in as well as to feed the output
to
my stereo. Would like direct transfer of files between it and computer.

Thanks again.
Howard
