> Well, I was just looking for a way to use an external mic (or stereo
mic) without a mixer or preamp with this little recorder.  Remember,
it's cheap and it has amazingly long battery life.  Randy described a
great way to run a line from the mixer, but in a situation where
there is no mixer (we play some VERY small venues), it would be nice
to have off-unit mic(s), but not at the expense of dragging around a
mixing board and then having to power it.  A lot of folks use
minidisc, which is okay, but this would be simpler.

Some of these look interesting, and cheap enough:

I'm not sure how much better the quality would be, but I'm sure it can't be 
worse.
