RE: Sony Portable TC-D5m

I bought one to use for field recording of various sorts--including some of that "NPR" stuff. And, yes, its the kind of machine you love. I still have mine in fact... They are just great machines--the sound quality is about as good as cassette can be (with the best tape, very good), they run for a few hours on 2 D-size batteries, and in a package size and weight and toughness unequaled especially for that sound quality. They weren't cheep though--about $600 new as I recall back in the 1980s.

There also was a TCD5 Pro which was the same except with balanced XLR mic inputs instead of 1/4".
