Marantz have just produced a "portable" CD recorder (CDR300) that may interest you. It has 2 inputs for mics, XLR and jack, the XLR can be phantom powered from the unit. It will also accept a stereo jack (as with the cheaper Sony Mics.) I'm very interested in one, having already got an AT822 and minidisc. This means you could use 2 condenser mics without any mixer, preamp or desk, just straight into the recorder, and without the compression that all minidisc recorders use.
