Hi Guys, first post on here, hope you can help. I was introduced to MD's back in 2001 and have used them ever since for recording lectures. People have tried to move me to digital recorders, I have a Tascam DR-07, but the MD recording is miles better. At present I have 3 HI-MD MZ-RH1's (do a lot of recording), ones on it's way out. Now that Sony has stopped making MD recorders, what do I do? I use the Vivanco EM 35 Clip on microphone. I thought about using a Minidisc Deck, I have a MDS-JB940, but how do I connect the vivanco mic to this? I have looked into digital recorders, but I don't want to spend hundreds only to find the sound quality in far inferior to MD. Seen the Sony PCM-D50, but this seems like a outdoor recorder where I don't connect a mic, I would rather use a clip on mic because I feel the quality would be better. Would would you suggest in terms of recorder and mic that will gurantee me the same quality as my MD recordings?
