Ok so no specific suggestions for improving the sound (apart from better technique, which obviously goes without saying!). I think my setup actually "warms up" the sound - to my ears the Brook doesn't sound as mellow as it sounds on the recording - and on the other hand the Taylor, which has an uncharacteristically mellow sound, seems to lose its bite altogether when recorded. Perhaps I'll record the same thing on the Taylor for comparison.
Anyway thanks for all the reassuring comments and encouragement... I shall keep secret how many hours it took me to learn that piece (hint - I lost count). And I also appreciate the sage advice that perhaps further investment in equipment will be a game of diminishing returns... Keith's recordings are lovely and certainly bear witness to the fact that if you put fantastic material in the front end, no-one is worrying about the equipment used! And I'm definitely not the kind of person who likes to manipulate the digital file to get different effects, unlike my other half, who refuses to go out for a run/bike/swim unless he's all hooked up with his GPS watch so he can upload the data and analyze it later!

Good points from Keith. It is helpful to have a system that you can use almost intuitively. Once my recording set up is up and running I tend to leave it that way for a few weeks. But this is a real fav to organise which is probably why I haven't recording things in ages!
My Edirol mini recorder has now broke on. A Zoom replacemt. May beckon.
