Portable Audio Recorder

[Caged]

I've had a huge search for something which doesn't cost a complete ton of cash and not turned up any results, so I was wondering if you lot had any better ideas or knew something I don't. All I want is an inexpensive portable device which has 2 balanced inputs (eg, will record stereo). I can't seem to find anything for much less than £400.

Media doesn't matter at this point, so anything is an option.

Cheers

Depends what you mean by 'portable' and what price you want to go to...

Do you just wish to record sound, do you wish to record it at a certain quality, do you wish to record straight onto a computer, do you mind using firewire, USB etc - what is the most you would pay?

I can reccommend a load once we know these...

Well I mentioned £400 as being too much in the original post, yes I only require sound, portable to me means battery powered. Audio quality? Well as long as it's not compressing it to 128k MP3 it's ok. The balanced inputs part was pretty important. If I can't find anything I'll probably end up wiring something up myself with one of the older more rugged MD recorders we have.

Cause the old recorder's sitting on a shelf in the media centre
