Hi
I am considering the Zoom H2 recorder. I am a serious amateur singer and I use the cheap and simple Olympus Digital Voice recorder (cost about $40). I like it because it has a built in speaker and it records farily well. Below are samples of me singing using the recorder. The first was in a church with the recorder about 15 feet away. The second in a small restaurant about 8 ft away. I cleaned both of them up using CakewalkPyro (declick feature)

So the question I have for you if whether people think that the Zoom H2 is substantially better quality recorder (and better suited for recording me singing) than the cheap one I am using. I would like high quality recordings of my singing to share.
Thanks!

I just went from the stereo digital voice recorder (Olympus) to the Zoom H2 - No contest!
the Olympus is a great voice recorder, but thats all, it has no record settings which means you have to be well back from players and also the sound is distorted as the voice recorder has an auto gain circuit which is clumsy with music recordings. Get the H2!
