After a fair bit of research, including multiple threads on this site and quite a bit of hands-on experimentation with different devices, I have determined that the Sony Sony MZ-NH1 Hi-MD minidisc recorder is the best solution for me for doing recordings of my mandolin music, including jams, performances and practices. It really has the combination of features I need.
I really trust the recommendations of my mando-colleagues on this board. My question for all of you is this: What online/mail order electronics vendors have you had good luck with for this general kind of equipment, although of course not necessarily this exact device. I am looking for a good combination of price and ethics/customer service. I don't know what kind of faith to put in all these online vendor ratings. Consumer Reports does give any of them thier highest rating, but the ones that get even a moderate rating also have the highest prices. Maybe you only get what you pay for, but maybe it's possible to do better. What has your experience been?
