Hi all - I was about to make the call to order a Sony MDS-E10 when I stumbled on this discussion group. My jaw dropped when I found about the new Hi-MD format. It is a dream come true for radio logging, but I'm not sure if I can use it to make a master recording from analog signals from a female RCA jack, then use that master to record to other formats such as cassette tapes and cd's. Also does anyone know if a pro type rackmount Hi-MD deck is in the pipeline to be released soon? TIA, Law
