>From my experience, the quality difference is undeniable, even if I mostly
listen to rock music (in the broader sense). I cannot say 'this has changed"
or "I cannot hear something that is on CD", but something is changed as far
as the musicality, sound clarity or richness are concerned.

Maybe the recorder and player are to be blamed for this. I own a portable
Sony MZ-R70.
The sound is acceptable with earphones, because there isn't any direct
comparison, but played on my stereo system (NAD amplifier + Celestion Ditton
66 speakers), it is really disapointing.
I am now considering purchasing a MD deck to have better quality both when
recording and playing minidiscs.

Any good recommendations? I am not particularly fond of Sony equipment. I've
read from reviews that -Kenwood's DMF-9020 is top-class (What Hi-Fi?, UK)
and Spitzenklasse (Audio, Germany). Any good or bad experience with this
deck? Are there any other better machine as far as the sound quality is
concerned?
