Tascam DR-10CS - where have you been all my life.

Uncertain as to how to answer this one. The biggest difference between the two (correct me if I'm wrong), is that the Sennheiser connection / non-standard jacks are needed for the TASCAM, whereas the Juicedlink can power a COS 11D or other mics with the standard jack - and also provide power for them to run! This alone puts me in the Juicedlink camp. I'll be picking up two or three of those eventually. TASCAM is coming with a mic for £5 more in the UK though, and Juicedlink is around £50 more expensive.

If you already own a sennheiser wireless system, then the Tascam represents good value. I've recently added one and its been a godsend both as a backup to the wireless audio for Corporate work and as a standalone for Weddings. The dual audio recordings has given me peace of mind and being able to screw the mic in, whereas my old audio recorder was just slotted in gives me more confidence in the recording not being affected by tampering. I've had a look at the Juicedlink; offers much the same, though looks slightly bigger than the Tascam and I'm less sure of the led display.

Battery life could be better - i usually have to change it before using it again for the speeches but my sony recorders will run just about all day on a AAA

Peter, you might need to get better batteries. I use Eneloop Pros. On Saturday I forgot the Tascam on the groom and left it on all day. Pretty much from 12.30pm to 6.30pm - it was still recording and was still showing about a third battery!
