Re: comparison between the LS-7 and DM-620
I'm trying to figure out which recorder to get also. Not sure whether to go with the DM4 or LS7. If you get the LS7, I encourage you to do some blind listening tests to determine how much difference you notice with various sampling rates with this machine. I know it's good, but considering its price, Olympus could only spend so much on mics, pres, and converters. Anyway, be interested to hear your thoughts after listening. - Original Message - From: Hamit Campos hamitcam...@gmail.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 11:11 PM Subject: RE: comparison between the LS-7 and DM-620 I'll just be doing out door stuff. As far as spending hundreds or thousands on mikes and mixers and stuff like that goes, hell to the yeah I would if I could and had it. I've even told Neal Eweres so. I told him I'd get one of the Sound-devices recorders if I had the thousands for them. Actually I can play 96000KHZ 24 bit files. I've already made some with Sound Forge 10. No offence taken. I just wanted to know your thoughts is all. But, yeah, I've even gotten away with 32 bit audio with Audacity too. But, that's for another time.

And are you planning to spend hundreds or thousands on microphones and pre-amps so you'll actually notice the difference? I don't mean to sound harsh or sarcastic, but I don't see the necessity of going to 96/24 with what is essentially a consumer recorder.

The DM-620 sounded to me like a glorified DM-2 when I first read about it. So, at the time I said no, I'l stick to trying for the DM-4 thanks. But then along comes the LS-7 and makes me think again. It's cheaper then the DM-4, it sounds better, and it can record in full LPCM 96000KHZ at 24 bit. That's blue-ray audio. I don't know. We'll see, but I think I'll get this one instead. I mean, the catchy things about the DM-4 are the text to speech, speech recognition, and the DAISY player. But, it can only record in DVD quality namely 48000KHZ at 16 bit. As much as I like the 3 above mentioned things about the DM-4, I'm really thinking about the LS-7. What do you guys think.

Although both recorders have three mics, the Ls-7 has better mics -- the two side mics stick out more than the DM-620 mics. there is no comparison re the quality of voice recordings; the LS-7 gives a much richer, life-like bass sound to recordings, even when recording in MP# mode. The DM-620 does not have a pre-record mode, which buffers two seconds of recording; the LS-7 has this mode. The DM-620 also does not have a 100HZ or 300HZ low-cut filter; you can either turn the low cut filter on or off on the DM-620. The LS-7 has a 100HZ and 300HZ low cut filter choice. both recorders have the same button configuration, which, in my opinion, is inferior to the Dm-420 or Dm-520. the record,/pause and stop buttons are on the front face of both recorders, not on the side as they are on the DM-520.

Re: Observations with bluetooth versus 3.5 mm cable
Chris, The way I look at it, if you like the sound better through BlueTooth then that is probably all that should matter. As a matter of accuracy, though, the cable should really give you better sound because it will be passing the full analog output from a digital source without any of the side-effects of possible BlueTooth bandwidth restirctions. If you are plugging your cable into a computer, it is receiving its analog signal directly from the computer's sound card which has on it a digital to analog converter. When you use BlueTooth, the signal is being transferred digitally via a wireless connection, just as you said, but it undergoes some processing and possible data compression as it is transmitted. These parameters can vary, though. At the very least, though, Bluetooth cannot make the sound any better than it originally was. When it gets to your earphones, it is decoded and turned into an analog signal probably by a less expensive digital to analog circuit than exists in your computer. The signal then passes along wires, although they are very short, from the output of the digital to analog converter in your headphones to the earpieces, just like your cable does. So are you wrong to think it sounds better? No, I don't think so. Something in the Bluetooth circuitry is changing the sound in a way that fits your preferences. The earphones may even be better matched to the output of the built-in digital to analog converter than they are to your computer's sound card via the cable. While I like my BlueTooth headphones, I think I sometimes hear some data compression effects that are a little like low rate MP3 files but the convenience is worth it. The point here is really just to point out that the reason it sounds better to you is probably not because BlueTooth is digital. There may even be some settings that might explain it. Some bluetooth devices in computers actually act like separate sound cards with their own settings and may differ from the settings applied to the output jack of your computer's sound card.

Re: Observations with bluetooth versus 3.5 mm cable
I think you're right Steve. My bluetooth stack installs an additional sound card, Bluetooth AV Audio, which it switches to on the fly as soon as the headphones are connected. When disconnected, it switches back to my onboard High Definition Audio sound card again on the fly. So I think the bluetooth AV audio driver sounds better to my ears anyway. But like I say, I was just curious that was all hence this thread.

Hi List. If this is off topic then I apologise. I'm wondering whether anyone has used the Kay-Tel blog for downloading the old Majestic Record albums that are listed on there or whether they're also available commercially on cd.

Re: comparison between the LS-7 and DM-620
I thought that sounds like a sampling rate for recording DVD's. - Original Message - From: Dave Scrimenti dscrime...@comcast.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 11:28 PM Subject: Re: comparison between the LS-7 and DM-620 I don't know which one you should buy, but I certainly wouldn't go for the ls7 for the 96/24 sampling rate.What are you going to record that you believe requires such a high sampling rate, especially since you'll usually have to downsample to 44.1/16 anyway? And are you planning to spend hundreds or thousands on microphones and pre-amps so you'll actually notice the difference? I don't mean to sound harsh or sarcastic, but I don't see the necessity of going to 96/24 with what is essentially a consumer recorder. Even Neal Ewers in his podcast says he rarely uses those high rates. - Original Message - From: Hamit Campos hamitcam...@gmail.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 11:37 PM Subject: RE: comparison between the LS-7 and DM-620 I thought as much. The DM-620 sounded to me like a glorified DM-2 when I first read about it. So, at the time I said no, I'l stick to trying for the DM-4 thanks. But then along comes the LS-7 and makes me think again. It's cheaper then the DM-4, it sounds better, and it can record in full LPCM 96000KHZ at 24 bit. That's blue-ray audio. I don't know. We'll see, but I think I'll get this one instead. I mean, the catchy things about the DM-4 are the text to speech, speech recognition, and the DAISY player. But, it can only record in DVD quality namely 48000KHZ at 16 bit. As much as I like the 3 above mentioned things about the DM-4, I'm really thinking about the LS-7. What do you guys think. Which should I go for in your opinion? -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of John Riehl Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 9:42 PM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: comparison between the LS-7 and DM-620 I've purchased both the Olympus Ls-7 and the DM-620 and want to post a brief comparison and review of the two recorders. The short version: I'm going to return the DM-620 to amazon. Although both recorders have three mics, the Ls-7 has better mics -- the two side mics stick out more than the DM-620 mics. there is no comparison re the quality of voice recordings; the LS-7 gives a much richer, life-like bass sound to recordings, even when recording in MP# mode. The DM-620 does not have a pre-record mode, which buffers two seconds of recording; the LS-7 has this mode. The DM-620 also does not have a 100HZ or 300HZ low-cut filter; you can either turn the low cut filter on or off on the DM-620. The LS-7 has a 100HZ and 300HZ low cut filter choice. both recorders have the same button configuration, which, in my opinion, is inferior to the Dm-420 or Dm-520. the record,/pause and stop buttons are on the front face of both recorders, not on the side as they are on the DM-520. The case on both recorders is terrible; it is really a sleeve. It does not have a flap that opens and closes, nor does it have the kickstand feature like the dM-520 case. Both recorders have the same level of voice guidance; 95% of the menu choices talk. Neither recorder gives you system memory info, nor can you set the clock by voice as far as I know. But all of the record, lay, file, etc, selections speak on both recorders. In short, if you are looking for an excellent digital recorder, spend a few more bucks and get the LS-7. You won't be sorry. .
