I would guess, in the absence of no hard comparative data, that the
audio
recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the
Olympus
DS-71, which I do have.
I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a
degree of
background hiss (preamp noise or circuit noise). This is the case
when set
to wave recording and manual mic input levels.
Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in
port, so I
am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are
using an
attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels?
That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways,
and for
so many reasons: its extraordinarily flexible and effective voice
recording
capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and especially
its
super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device.
Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording
level
feedback are features unique to the Plextalk recorders.
Regards
Tim

Agreed!
accessability is a very important factor but it doesn't equate to
performance.
I use the olympus DS-71 which does an excellent job for both mike
and line
in recordings.
Yes, you can monitor through headphones.
I also like the fact that it uses AAA batteries that makes it easy
to swap
them out if needed.
I hear the Edital R9 is also a nifty unit

That statement should probably be qualified: It may well be the most
excellent recording device in its class on the market, I couldn't
say
but have no reason to believe otherwise, but there are better
recording
devices on the market. Sweeping statements are dangerous.

What I know is that the PlexTalk Pocket is totally accessible,
nicely
packaged, has both manual and automatic level control, and does a
very
nice
job of recording from the line injack. I doubt any other digital
recorder
provides as much feedback, as this one is made for the blind. Of
course,
it
may (or may not, I don't know) cost more than others of similar
quality,
but
there's no guesswork involved. It's nice to be able to monitor
through
the
speaker when making a line-in recording.

Hi all,
Just wondering, which one of the flash memory based recorders
recently
discussed here, would be most suitable for making high quality
recordings
from an external source via line-in? e.g. a satellite receiver.
I don't intend recording via microphone, so that particular aspect
of
performance is of limited interest.
Any views much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tim.
