It's a perfect match for mine, a Sharp DR77.

I am not as technologically sophisticated as many others on this fo=
rum, but reading what has passed before, the only reason to get a pre-amp w=
ith *our* equipment (AT815b) is to bypass a poor (noisy, low gain) mic inpu=
t on the recorder and use its line input. IMHO the mic inputs on most or ma=
ybe all minidiscs are quieter than most mics. If you get into really quiet =
($$$) or low-output mics, preamps may be desirable, but someone else should=
speak to that.
