Re: MD: RF Modulators
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Yes, you can plug into either headphone or line out (if it's an option on your md player). However, there has been considerable talk on this list about bad experiences with these devices. Most of them seem to suffer from "drift".

MD: JA30ES issues
My JA30ES is starting to return dud recordings in the sense that the audio is broken up regardless of what media I use (be it TDK or Sony). I've got the service manual, laser power meter and all the other tools on my workbench, and am about to get stuck into it. But in case it's something a little more obscure than that, anyone got any ideas what it could be? Is this a common issue with JA30ES's that have gone through relatively rugged use? When I say rugged, I refer to more playback than recording (dumping digitally to PC for post-production work of live recordings and shit). All help appreciated.

A (small?) shipment made up off discs of different ages from different manufacturers arriving at the same time? Whatever. Usually the least you can buy wholesale is a shrinkwrapped 'bale' of 1000. This consists of 10 boxes of 100 which are themselves usually 20 boxes of 5. These don't usually get split then mixed'n'matched.

Did I wake up on the wrong planet ? It's accepted as netiquette. Which, of course is not law ;-) Netiquette also dictates that you don't send large attachments to mailing lists, but some idiots still insist on doing it and refuse to see the problems with it when people get upset. As for hard copy mail, there are a couple issues: 1) Whether or not it's OK to show a hard copy letter to someone to whom it wasn't addressed is really dependent upon the context in which it was sent. 2) Email and hard copy mail are two different things. There is no such thing as a "discussion/mailing list" with snail mail. So there is no clear differentiation between "sending to the list" and "sending privately." Email has such differentiation, and the "good netiquette" practice is to honor the method in which you received the message: privately or publicly.

Most of the times when this breach of netiquette occurs the problem isn't "giving credit where it's due" but rather that someone sent something privately, under the assumption that it was intended for the recipient, and the recipient then posted it to a public list. This can be harmless, or embarrassing, or even dangerous.

Stockport was their 2nd branch, and is the largest outside London. Previously to that I worked for the local Sony franchisee in York, and have kept in touch with them since I left, so I would have somewhat more knowledge of MD's status and availability than you seem to give me credit for. Originally very few people carried MD, and the wholesalers who dealt with other consumables would not stock them as they were low volume and high cost, at around 10 retail. As the MD market picked up, the retailers of MD blanks sourced *only* from the manufacturers, which led to price stagnation at around 5 per disc. During this time Sony offered it's franchisees a deal whereby they could by 5,000 discs at a reduced cost price. The franchise I worked for did this (after I had left), and was untilmatly to loose out when Richer Sounds started selling their discs at cost price as a loss leader, and eventually sourcing their discs from lower cost manufacturers. When at Richer Sounds, I was frequently left with 'empty warehouse' syndrome - everybody who's ever tried to buy one of the offers from them knows what I'm talking about, and we did try to source from Hitachi-Maxell, Memtek, MPO, Sony and others. ( Sony were the least keen, BTW :-) The odd time we would get some grey import Sony's, but these were never a stable supply. Only know do 'warehouses' have any supply of MD's, and their prices are terrible. Richer Sound's loss-leader price is below their cost price, so imagine what they charge as middlemen to other shops. Their is no margin for them, so THEY DO NOT HOLD STOCK. >I cannot say whether the stock is or is not manufactured by a >specific >company - no longer having the discs I am unable to provide >any >information that would enable somebody to do that. You sent me a picture, from which I identified it as the same design from a Korean plant that also manufactures for Mitsubishi. The Mitsubishi is identical in all but colour. MPO's discs have a very different style shell. Compare their BASF's and FNAC discs with their own-brand Hi-space. They are identical in all respects, including rivit points, style of printing on the shutter, shading on the left side of the discs etc... the only difference is the colour and name. >As I was the owner of the discs and I don't have that information, There is a little strip on the back of the disc, if it says 'Made in E.U' it's an MPO made Memorex, if it says nothing ( blank), it's made in Korea(for some reason that plant does not print the origin on the disc.)

Re: MD: email privacy
Simon Barnes asked, | Where did this idea come from ? The idea came from the law. In countries signatory to the Berne Convention (which includes most of the homelands of MD-L people, and most importantly includes the UK, where MD-L runs), copyright is automatic on non-published works as soon as they are committed to a rereadable medium, without any registration needed. That certainly applies to items sent only by private email. Though as far as I've read there are no cases tried so far, it's generally taken that reprinting private email in a public forum, such as a newsgroup or a publicly accessible mailing list, would constitute publication, and there- fore it is illegal without consent of the author. While a violation would usually do no monetary detriment to the author it would be hard to collect damages, but it is still considered very bad netiquette. Now, if you want to quote some private email in a public place and the author fails to grant permission (explicit refusal is not necessary), you may still paraphrase it with credit to the author. That can make the difference really petty, but copyright covers the expression of an idea, not the idea itself. So if it were my birthday and Simon sent me private email saying, "Happy birthday, David," I could post here, Simon wished me a happy birthday. without breaching his copyright on the message. But if I posted, Simon wrote to me, > Happy birthday, David. then I'd be violating his copyright (besides being off-topic). As Gaz has noted, it's a good idea, when you reply privately to a post from a mailing list, to indicate "[private]" or "[sent privately, but OK to quote in a post if you want]" somewhere on or in the message. A lot of people don't separate their mail and could mistake a private message about a topic dis- cussed on a mailing list for a post that came through that list. Now that many people use the same program to read both email and netnews, it might also be a good idea to do that when you send a private reply to netnews arti- cle. And if you quote private email that the author said was all right to quote (either in the original text or when you later asked for permission), remember to specify "quoted with permission" or something comparable so that people won't get on your case for quoting private email without permission. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As MDs are classed as non-perishabvle items, it is common for warehousing groups not to stocj rotate the items. This means that when the stock is renewed, the old stock stays at the back, and is only distributed if the stock level drops low enough for sll the newer stock (now in front of the old stock) to have run out.

Actually, they came in about 45 days, which isn;t too bad considering that most companies make you wait MUCH longer. However, i got fast service, but not what I was promised. :-( Win - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: TTR "Combats the Scourge of CD Piracy"
More on copy-proof CDs. Taken from a news article in MP3.com (http://www.mp3.com/news/370.html) TTR Combats CD Piracy by TTR TTR Combats the Scourge of CD Piracy TTR Technologies, Inc. Announces MusicGuard(TM), Groundbreaking New CD Anti-Piracy System -- Warlock Records and Strictly Rhythm Music First to Sign on New York, NY September 24, 1999 -- TTR Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: TTRE) launched MusicGuard(TM) with the announcement today that Warlock Records Inc. and Strictly Rhythm Music signed license agreements to protect all their new releases, beginning in 2000. Last year, Warlock sold nearly 4 million albums and has guaranteed that a minimum of 2 million this year will be made with MusicGuard. MusicGuard, TTR's newest technology, protects CDs against illegal copying. This is the first time audio CDs will be protected against piracy. Adam Levy, president and CEO of Warlock Records and N-Coded Music (distributed through Red/Sony) said, "With the advent of inexpensive CD recorders, illegal CD copying is rapidly becoming a gigantic problem for the record industry. MusicGuard provides the industry with a solution to this problem. I am pleased to be one of the first users of this exciting new technology." Mark Finkelstein, president and CEO of Strictly Rhythm Music, said, "When the kids who make compilations of dance music realize that illegal copies of my CDs don't play, they are just going to go somewhere else to copy and will go to the music store to buy ours." Marc D. Tokayer, chairman and CEO of TTR Technologies, said, "TTR has been at the forefront of the war against digital piracy, first in the area of software and now with MusicGuard in the area of music. We are thrilled that our technology will be instrumental in thwarting the scourge of CD piracy. We are especially happy to be working with Warlock Records and Mr. Levy in this effort." Leading industry figures have expressed the hope that, for the first time, there appears to be a viable solution to the global problem of CD piracy. Michael Fine, Grammy-winning producer and former vice presidents of artists and repertoire at Deutsche Grammaphon, said, "MusicGuard offers an elegant, sophisticated and inexpensive solution to CD piracy." - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You didn't make it clear in your previous post that it was actually the auditory testing centre that tested your ability to differentiate between waveforms at 14KHz. I don't doubt that their equipment is both capable of this level of performance and of uncompromising quality. This does imply that you can sense 28KHz components in the sound, which is a rather super-human ability. Have you ever been in the presence of an old ultrasonic remote control and been annoyed by it? Can you hear the squeal from ultrasonic proximity detectors? Those woofer stopper things that emit ultrasonic noise to quieten noisy dogs must drive you mad too! -cb - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Everybody who had this problem could get a thingy from HP that would scrub the rubber to make it more like 'sand'paper?
