Bananatree Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Probably the best Sony recorders are as follows:MZ-r900, MZ-r909, MZ-r910, MZ-n910Although you may have better results with Sharp recorders, i.e DR7, DR77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikami Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hello Yochanan, Zombietycho is right! And it sounds like you need Sharp. It is my opinion Sharp's units are much better recorders than anything Sony has. Why well if you want to do Live recordings Sharp will let you change settings while recording, and Sharp won't make tracks if the outside volume falls for a sec or two, enless you want it to. Sharp does have a variable volume control on the input. But, do not take my word for it, check out. Check out Sharp's MD-DR77 at this link:http://www.minidisct.com/products/sharp_md-dr77.htmlAnd Check out Sharps MD-DR7 at this link:http://www.minidisct.com/products/sharp_dr7.html Shalom, Mikami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javertim Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I can attest to the Sharp DR-77's brilliance. I love this unit more than any other I've used, and while it can be a bit pricey, it's certainly worth every penny! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikami Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hey Yochanan, Do you have a mic for it, yet? Or did you order a mic already? With such a cool recorder, your gonna need a good mic to take advantage of Sharp's great quality. Later, Mikami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yochanan Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Mikami:I've got a vintage, (circa 1985) Sony ECM-939T that has always performed very very nicely. I haven't found anything along the way to top it. Any ideas??Yochanan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are happy with that and it gets the job or jobs done, then nothing can top it. That sounds like a good mic, you are going to have a really good set up! I am green with envy!! (2)However, I am curious just what do want to do with that mic? stealth recording, live music, reporting, just your own voice, or all of those? And how powerful or detailed a mic would you want? Oh, if the mic you have is ajustable and can it be set to pick up different frequency then it tops most mics today. I am sure you mic is built better than those of today, in most cases.
