[Electronics-talk] New Victor Stream review

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Vince.
I'm not sure what you mean, exactly.  It's possible to record with a 
line-in. That's all I know.
I usually use the Stream to record workshops, and I use the built-in mic.  I 
think the new Stream will be even better than the old one for my recording 
purposes.
