I have had a MZ-R50 MD for the longest time, but a bad spill it recently took has left the mic input a total mess. I use my MD as a backup for all recording sessions, and occasionally as the primary recording device, used simply with a Sony instrumental mic. I am seeing that virtually all of the new MD's out there don't even HAVE any inputs at all. This is disheartening and very irritating, as I went to five big stores tonight and none of them had anything except for the new devices out now. WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR: A top-quality Sony MD recorder that has the following: - mic input - line in - line out USB capability would be great, but is not a must by any means. Price is NOT an issue - as long as it's good, I will pay for it. Anyone have any suggestions? Feel free to e-mail me at trausen@aol.com. I would appreciate any help you can lend....thanks! Tim
