Since you mentioned use in the field, I think your best choice is probably a Sound Devices MP2 (a.k.a Shure FP24), which go for about $450 used. They can run on AAs, sound great (with bass that may be what you mean by "warm"), are small but really rugged and have features like talkback mic...

The following prices are shipped to CONUS. All items are guaranteed not DOA and work perfectly. I can’t post pics but I can email them to you (give me 24 hrs to respond). I have 350 ebay feedbacks, 100% positive, pm me for info. All proceeds will be spent on more gear :) 1. Roland MMP-2 Mic...

A few comments on the prior posts. People have reported getting the microtrack for as little as $299 at GC. But . . . For any of the compact flash recorders, don't forget to account for at least another $100 for media. The tiny cards they come with just give you a few minutes of PCM audio...

I was responding to Leavings, who asked about purchasing one, not you who supposedly already has one.

I have an NT4 that I'm not using much these days. Mint with all the accessories. PM me if interested.

Still available. I've also found the driver disc and a copy of the manual.

I've been using diamondcut programs for cleaning up 78s and shitty open reel and cassette recordings for years. I really like their software packages, especially for the money. But I never found much use for the virtual valve amplifier.

M-Audio Firewire 410 in excellent condition, plus a 12.0 V 4000 mAh Universal External NiMH Battery Pack (P-2000) and Charger from batteryspace that allows you to run it "on location" for hours without AC or draining PC power. (It can also power many laptops.) It also comes with the ac cable...

I am very satisfied with them in terms of doing what I need: getting a very "translatable" mix after I got used to them. You will have to double check the bottom octave on something else however, and they seem to make background hiss a bit more obtrusive than it actually is which initially lead...

You can find this topic debated at some length by searching the head-fi boards. The Sony seems to win out, but not unanimously.

Thanks. Assuming its DC as it appears on Yamaha's website, the main thing is the voltage, although consumption would be nice if it's there.

What kind of power does this thing require (appears to be DC from screen shots)? I'm wondering about the possibility of finding or devising a battery pack to enhance portable use. Thanks

doesn't give a shit

Exactly right. I have done this with the M-Audio Duo and (mostly) the Roland MMP-2. They output coax, so you need a coax to digital converter ($15 at rat shack). I have also used a Sound Professionals battert operated mic pre for compact portable use with NJB3s internal A/D converters. Many...
