Hey did you guys notice the price increase on Memorex colored minidiscs 20 pack at
Circuit City? Whats up with that? I thought prices normally come down, rather than
go up :( I bought a 20 pack before for $29.99 at Circuit City, and they were on sale
for $28.49 a couple weeks ago. I go back to the store and they have been repriced at
$34.99! (It still beats Best Buys price of $39.99 for these) Any thoughts? Maybe
they realized these were a hot item and decided to make some extra cash. Grrrrr!
They also had this comment on their web site:
"Mini-discs don't have frequency response or other "normal" hi-fi measurements because
the ATRAC system does not permit "straight" measurement of the compressed/reduced
data. Some audiophiles object to this and prefer to stick with high end cassette decks
or expensive DAT machines for critical recordings. We won't argue this point, for if
you put on headphones and compare a CD to an MD recorded from the CD, you will hear
some minor degradation if you listen closely. The real point is that the mini disc
will make better recordings than the vast majority of cassette decks in use today and
is much more compact and convenient to use."
It seem kind of negative to me. I really don't hear the "minor degradation" they are
talking about and I can't imagine ANY cassette deck making a better recording than
minidisc - maybe they put this statement out during older versions of ATRAC.
