I don't think it was the foam that improved the quality; it was having a high-quality mic in the first place. Minidiscs have been the standard for radio journalists for years now, but they're rapidly being replaced by high-end digital recorders like the Edirol M-1, the Marantz PMD660, and the M-Audio Microtrack. The last two will accept high-quality microphones with phantom power (preamp) requirements. The quality will be head and shoulders over a standard voice recorder.
