Two of my favorites from this year...?

My Zoom H2 - better than any built-in arranger recorder I can take it anywhere in my pocket, records up to 24/96 (I usually stick to 24/44), automatic recording, time stamped files... it's a no-brainer!

And a pair of Mackie SRM-150 hotspot monitors. Finally a small powerful self monitoring rig for stereo keyboards that holds up to a live band's volume! Even if the PA is mono, at least I get to hear the full glory! Heck, a small powered sub, and they MIGHT do for a tiny PA for very small gatherings!

What's the best, smallest, inexpensive powered sub?
