Fostex FR-2. Preamps are so-so but otherwise it seems like an okay box.

That's the hard part. I guess I'd have to steer you to the Marantz
PMD-670 (if I got that right) at the moment. Or you could go with a
modular solution and check out the Core Sound mic preamp, your
favorite PDA, and their PDA audio interface card.

There are several flash card recorders out now, but most of them are
oriented toward the MP3 crowd - mini mic jacks, no phantom power, not
terribly good audio quality. I don't know how good that Marantz is,
but I know some people are using it for music. It's mostly a broadcast
tool.

Trust me, your going to hate the MR8's record time. Spend the extra money on
the new one (VF80EX) with the bult in hard drive. I have have not heard it but
I'm sure its the same as the MR8 but having a 20 gig hardrive.
