I think the MZ-R30 (and R35?) is a good machine, a solid workhorse, built before Sony was scrimping heavily on weight, size, energy consumption, manufacturing cost, etc., and AFAIK no audio quality improvements have been made to portable Sony MD recorders since then. > What can I do? Are Aiwa F65 or Sharp MD-MT20 options to consider? Yes, I think so. I think audio quality for modern MD portables are all within a gnat's breath of each other (my opinion, I haven't really listened to them all). > It's a lot of difference of quality between the line out of the > Sony's and the headphone out of Aiwa or Sharp (or R70 too)? I don't know if a combined headphone/line output is really worse, compared to having a separate line output. Has anyone really checked it? My guess is that manufacturers offering a single output jack on their units will try and ensure that they don't sound worse because of it.
