I think one aspect of the process that isn't really put into the forefront,
but should very well be, is your front end. Essentially, if you bypass the
pre's on a recorder, you are only using it as a converter. Converter
quality is going to be *very* similar across consumer and pro gear, so if
you have a nice front end feeding the line-in of an MD your going to do
extremely well. Recording into a consumer deck using portable preamps like
the Sound Devices MP-2 and those by Grace, paired with some decent mics,
are going to sound ten times better than running straight into a pro deck
like the HHB, which IMO doesn't have that great of pre's and is really
quite noisy (not to mention that in my testing of the unit, I myself, and
two others, had an MD's contents destroyed by a software crash).
And rack another vote up for Sharp!
