Really? That's interesting. My girlfriend is getting one of those from
the etown deal, and it's supposed to arrive tomorrow. I'll have to check
it out.
On a different note, I was one of the people who got in on the JVC
FSMD9000 at Buy.com for $219. I'm fairly picky about my audio, and
planned on taking this unit to work for my desk, but after receiving it
last week, I have to say that it may never leave the house ;-) The sound
is surprisingly good for such a small system, including very impressive
bass response, and it's a wonderful CD-MD recording unit. I love the fact
that you can record a single track off a CD by just playing a track and
hitting record -- it automatically returns to the beginning of the track,
starts a synchro-record, and stops recording when the track ends (and
writes the UTOC right then). The only complaint I have about it is the
editing -- whenever you make a change (move, erase, title), it stops the
MD and writes the UTOC. So if you want to title an entire disk, you have
to play track 1, title, stop, then press play, forward to track 2, title,
stop, etc. Each time you have to wait for it to re-read the UTOC and then
move to the track you wish to edit. But other than that, It's a great
unit, and I think it's worth $399 compared to some of the junk out there.
