I don't think the R90 motor noise comes from running it at high speed, I think it comes from ramping up the speed reeeaaaally slooowwwly with some kind of pulsed current that ends up making a racket. > But having said all that, the good things... > > - - program play Yeah! > - - the R900 has the standard monaural recording mode; Didn't the R90 and all others back to the MZ-R3? > - - Sony bothers to make the E900 a gram lighter than the Panasonic MJ77. > - - a RISC processor inside your MD portable sounds good. > > This is the first time in a decade that I find Sony Walkmans desirable. > Depending on what Sharp comes up with, I'll definitely be considering these > two when I want MD-LP compatible units. > end search is probably still on there (no proof/disproof), but it does > support the two LP mdoes. The button I think is still there (I can make out a label on the photo of the case that's about the right size and shape to be END SEARCH), but whether you always have to push it remains to be seen. I'm trying to read between the lines of the letter Sony sent back ... but I can't tell yet. Does anyone else think that "MZ-R900" is a hell of a high model number? How about MZ-R100, or MZ-R190 or something? Maybe we really will be into the 4 digit numbers in a year or two.
