Interesting comments Michael, as always.

Personally, I am not a fan of mini-jack interfaces, though I know well
that they suit computer users.

If I find out more, re. whether the Fostex does have a pause facility,
I'll let the list know.
Very interesting the stored config info for the marantz and its an
eligant way of getting around, well partially, the inaccessability of
the menu system.

Who knows whether some of the current short comings might not be
addressed in firmware upgrades.
Cheers,

I'm not planning to do that. In the U.S., only the 256k version, the
ICD-SX57 is available BTW. It still would be a great radio talkshow
recorder.

It's quite similar to the Edirol R-09, but one cannot fast forward and
rewind with sound quickly with the Marantz. The speaker is like the
one in the Stream, quite weak, but better than nothing. One can store
all the settings of the recorder onto an SD card, edit the stored text
file and then load it back into the recorder. However unlike the
Edirol, the Marantz doesn'T have switches for rec level control,
lowcut and so on. I'll append a config file for the PMD620 to this
message.

I prefer recorders with minijack mic input sockets. Also, I'm not
sure, whether the Fostex offers a record pause feature.
