Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

I ask because, for example, the Zoom H4n has balanced mic inputs but even with high quality mics the noise floor was terrible compared to the Sony PCM-M10 when using a 3.5mm mic of comparable quality.
So, features aren't the only thing that matter for the price.
That being said; some surprisingly good recordings have been made with either device. Of course to accomplish this you must be fully aware of whatever shortcomings each device has, and use it accordingly
There's something very special about raw DSD in capturing my cymbal sound that I haven't heard yet with any other format. I just wish DSD offered more EQ'ing/editing features without having to transcode over to PCM.
I'm about to wrap up a tour tomorrow here in Denver on the last night of 4 different cities. My only regret is I haven't whipped out my recorder but sometimes I prefer to leave it alone as bringing out the recorder puts another psyche on the music that isn't always conducive to having the best, most sincere performance.
Thanks for sharing and I wish you many great recordings for the future! All the best to you too, friend...
