Need more playback volume in order to endorse this product

I'm a singer/songwriter. I bought it for easily recording basic thoughts and first takes at practice. I Like it but, The play back volume is way to low. I have to come out the ear plug jack into my amp to hear it. The salesman " Mike" at Sam Ash in Cherry Hill , N.J. store was GREAT !

The Perfect Tool

My new, Tascam DR-05X, was a great buy! It's perfect for all of my, "on the fly", sample taking needs around town. The DR-05X is compact with an easy to use interface, and with the expandable micro SD memory card slot, it gives me worry free recording time! The, Tascam DR-05X is definitely a producers must have tool!

Excellent value for the price

This was a good recorder, however it does have a tendency to pick up interference.
