I'm a huge fan of my M-Audio MicroTrack 24/96 recorder.  It's easy to use,
sounds great, and even provides phantom power to mics.  You need 1/4"
TRS-XLR cables to make that work, though.  Still, it makes a nice little
unit, and the 2GB microdrive I got gives me well over 3 hrs of recording
time at 44MHz/16 bit, and it interfaces easily as a USB storage device.
