They are expensive, but if you don't need dubbing and really want excellent quality tapes, the Sony Walkman Professionals are INCREDIBLE. I recorded a band practice in my basement and freaked the guy out at the store, who thought he was hearing a tape of a CD. There are two models and recording quality is as good on both, but the more expensive one has more options. I'm told Michele Shocked recorded her first album on one of these. If you want GREAT quality, portability, and don't need to overdub, drop a half a G on this product. But check the polarity before you plug in.
