I have accidentally put two of my sony minidisc's (1 gig) through the washing machine. The both worked fine after this small mishap. The second one had the metal gaurd come off. I pushed that back on and everything was fine.

In paticular is the recording of the MZ-NH700 minidisc recorder as good as the more expensive units? regards Alby

Mr Soul, Why Line In, Not Mic in? I use my MS907 which also is powered by a AA battery through mic in. Regards Alby

Thanks for all your replies. I should have posted this question ealier. What is an outboard preamp? And could you recommend a few, with some indicative pricing. I am really getting exicted about the prospect of getting some better recordings of my band. Regards alby

I am thinking of buying an expensive stereo condensor microphone - RODE NT4 to record my jazz band live. It will feed into a MZ-NH700 minidisc recorder. My question: Is it silly to plug a microphone that retails at $880.00 AUD into a Minidisk Recorder that retails at $450.00 AUD. (I can get the Rode NT fro around $550.00 street price). I am already using a SONY ECM-MS907 (which costs around $150.00) and want to go the next step up recording quality. I suspect that the SONY ECM-MS907 does not do justice to PCM Recording capability of the MZ-NH700 minidisc recorder. The other option is the SONY ECM-MS957 which I can buy for around $450.00.
