I bought an older (2001) Sharp Recorder MD-SR60 It has lots of features and was cheap.It records loud performances well with plug-n- power mic input,can change record level on the fly,optical input and cable,built in charger etc. I record our band rehearsals and performances. It lacks the LP features though it will record 160 min. in mono. Only 10 sec. memory buffer,hasn't skiped on me yet. No backlite display. No Net Md so all recording is in real time. Cost was $119 USD delivered... Bought a Sony Mic ECM-70P for $58 delivered...With the money I saved,I got a set of Sony Eggos for $55 It worked out well for my first MD purchase .Sure I would like a backlit display and LP-4 for my late night talk radio shows but for $119 I got a lot. I purchased mine from efendos.com in Dec. for $119 but they raised thier price to $199.Here are links to units under $120 ... Good Luck !

I'm 48 and a new user.

I just got a Sharp MDSR-60 and everything seems to work fine recording with the AC adapter with a "line in" from a mixing board.When I recorded with a mic (Radio Shack Stero Mic 33-3028) and battery power (Fully Recharged) a problem occured . When playing it back I noticed that it cut out and resumed intermittingly during the recording.While playig it back I can see the time counter stall at the dropout spots.The unit was sitting on a table about 25 ft. from the band so I don't think vibration was a problem. The band was playing during the droup-outs, so it was not a "sync" function activating. Any Ideas ? Thanks, Dave http://www.angelfire.com/rock3/themixx/index.html
