My view on the use of MD recorders is that they need to
be protected from being dropped just as the mike we use
should be able to withstand a few knocks.

I come from this professional field and as with cameras,
microphones are regarded as untrustworthy once they have
had a few bad knocks, so I think there little point in
spending a lot on the microphone beyond that price which
will give a 'good' sound quality and a rugged construction.
I use the ECM 957 for this reason. If it goes down the
gurgler, it is not too expensive to replace.

Similarly with the dubbing to PC thence CD. Why use
anything more expensive than an analog dubbing cable
if the quality obtained is acceptable. It may even be wiser
to expend the money saved on a better sound card for
your computer. Just my opinion. Reg.
