Thank you very much for your advice!Ease of use is definitely required (you can tell I'm a newbie), long recording time may or may not be. I'd definitely like to be able to record 30' without having to stop to take care of the recorder, I could enjoy 45', but I certainly need no more.
Also, neither price nor connections would seem to be a problem with those Panasonic units.
I know that the SV-3700 can be set for SPDIF optical output, so I could connect it directly to my CD recorder (a Tascam CD-RW700 I recently acquired). And I also could buy (or could have bought, I don't know if it is still for sale) a used unit locally for $125.The problem is that the thing weighs 14lbs!
As I said, I don't strictly need portability, but I absolutely need to move the recorder around: much as I would like to record at home, unfortunately that's not a possibility for at least another couple of years.
While I'd like to keep an open mind, I feel it would be impractical to bring a 14lbs rack-mountable unit around. Especially considering I don't have a car ...Would you recommend that strategy anyway? Or could you recommend a worthwhile portable DAT recorder that does not break the bank?
By the way, $550 is indeed out of the question: I'm afraid the quality of our playing is what stands in the way of the option of selling our recordings.
