I don't know that anyone is following this thread but for those that may be interested.. I made a go at the Radio Shack console and it didn't do didly for me. It barely boosted the signal and added noise! This was especially disapointing since I was able to buy it while it was on sale at 20% off *and* get my brother in law that works at the shack to give me his 25% employee discount on top of that!

Based on what little I've read I suspect that the reason it didn't work out for me is that my MD recorder expects a professional grade line level input which is +4Dbu and cheap home recording devices such as the Radio Shack unit use a -10Dbu line level. MD is also sensitive enough that it will pick up noise that a cassette deck would likely cover up. That's my theory anyhow.. I really don't know much about this stuff yet.
