First of all, the 2400 has probably the worst noisiest audio inputs I've ever heard on anything. So if you want truly clean audio pick something else, like a 1400 or a Wallstreet that you can put a 400 or 500 mhz G3 upgrade in. Anything but the 2400. As a matter of fact, if I were looking for something right now I'd probably buy the upgrade and then choose the powerbook! The other option for any PCMCIA slotted book is a digital audio card like the Digigram VX Pocket @ $600 and up.
