I can find a PC3 since they were in the US when before they were discontinued. How do you find the sound quality to be?

I've found the sound to be great, although I'm not sure that it would sound as good as QS or ES decks (in fact, I'm sure).
I'm not exactly using high-grade equipment, but it sounds great through my JVC system, and the headphone out (

) sounds fine to - much better than Sony portables through my D66s. I can't really pick anything wrong with the sound, except if you make a really bad recording (or low bitrate MP3 recording) the hiss from higher notes is shocking. No problem otherwise, and it was a bargain.

Thanks Mystyler. I also checked out your posts on the MD board - very helpful.

If you can wait, I'll hopefully have a decent review on the PC3 written by Saturday/Sunday, and with pictures if I can get them hosted by some of the guys at T-Board.
