Yes. IMHO, the problem with any portable domestic machine is likely to be
the mic amps - far more so than the medium used for the capture.
It's a bit like a pickup pre-amp - regardless of how good a cartridge you
use, and power amp and speakers, if this is poor the results will be poor.

The internal mic amps might well be ok for recording a voice with a hand
held mic, but are rarely adequate for much else.
