Hi All,

A musician friend of mine wants to replace her cassette recorder, and
digitize her cassettes.
She asked for a recommendation of a small recorder to do the job.

It needs to be simple to operate, or at least set up once and left
alone, and gracefully accept a consumer line level source. An onboard
speaker would be a real asset.

My first thought would be Zoom H4n Pro, or H5.
Second thought is Tascam DR-40 or DR-44WL.

How well do the new Zoom and Tascam recorders accept unbalanced -10db inputs?

Budget tops out at about $200.

Any recommendations for other units?

Cheers
Mike
