Hey kids, I recently remodeled my MZ-R700. Took it apart and pulled the 1/8th inch mic input off the circuit board, then soldered a high quality mono audio cable right to the board, no more static. That cable leads to a 1/4 audio jack and then to balanced Neuman connector with a transformer buil

A couple positive signs that MD might be catching on: Just today, I saw some MZ-R37's at "The Wall", a chain music store in the Oxford Valley Mall (NE Philadelphia). They had an "open box" unit for $70, a half dozen sealed boxes for $100 and a half dozen blister pack with USB adapter for $130.
