Basically, with the use you want to do with your MD recorder, my first
suggestion is the Sharp MS-722. This is the advantage of this unit :
- Very robust and solid.
- Slide-In door for Minidisc (easy to enter and remove minidiscs)
- Rechargeable battery include (6-10 hours autonomy, 3 hrs to charge)
- Battery case for 1 AA battery supplied (for a couple hour more)
- Very intuitive and easy to use, all button are on top of the unit and
button are big so easy to use.
- Analog and digital line input (stereo jack)
- Analog output (only stereo jack for headphone, no line out)
- Stereo/Mono mic input (stereo jack)
- Line lever adjustement, really easy to adjust and very visual screen
- Manually fade only
- Always record at the end of the disc but you can easily move, erase,
divide and edit each recorded part of the minidisc. If you have a 2
minutes sound at the end and you want it in the middle, simply move it, and
VOILA ! It's done !
- The rechargeable battery include is better than AA battery and it's a
lithium battery; intelligent battery that only charge what it needs. May
last 1-2 years easily. With the battery case you can add one more AA battery
for longer recording or playing.
- The unit charge by itself when the AC adaptor is plug in the wall and when
the unit is on Stop Mode.
- Remote control provided with the unit. Everything is allowed except
recording option with the remote. The remote is illuminated. However, if you
let the unit in rec/pause, you will be able to use the remote for the other
option (play and pause to stop and go the recording).
You can buy this unit from Etown (www.etown.com) or Mercata
(www.mercata.com). The price is really good and low (about $170 or even less
sometimes).
If you absolutely want a line out (not only a headphones output), you will
maybe prefer for the same (or so) amount, this unit from Sony : MZR-37.
However, be careful when purchase this unit and look for all accessories.
Sometimes it's really cheap when you look at it but there is a lot of extra
to pay after and you don't really save at all... What I dislike of the
MZR-37 Sony Units is : Clam Shell Door (very weak and fragile for me...) and
also the button are small and not so easy to use. However, the remote is
very useful (i'm not quite sure if it is illuminated).
