I have lately been trying to find a good portable tape recorder (typically
called 'Walkmen-type') without much success.  Most of what I have
encountered produces low quality sound and is of flimsy construction.  The
only current engineering criteria for these machines seems to be low cost
and light weight.

Can anyone here recommend what brands are good these days?  I need a
machine with a built in mic and speaker which will survive a few knocks.
Are Sony Pro machines worth the money?

Also, are there industry magazines which rate this stuff?

Thanks much.
