If you look around, you can still find an LS-14. I purchased a brand new one as recently as 6 weeks ago.
However, you may find it cheaper and just as good, quality wise, to purchase an LS-P2. The LS-P2 has the voice guidance for the menus and is, to all intents and purposes, the replacement for the LS-14. It is, however, physically smaller than the LS-14 but it is particularly good for live recording.

Nuts! Isomeone sent me a Neal Ewers review of the ls 14, but I didn't know how old that was, as there was no date on it. I need a digital recorder which will be accessible for a piano cd. My old ptr2 plextor machine just died.

But 100 have both limiter and compressor.
