I now have access to an 831 so when I get some time I'll try recording the same sound on it to see if it also exhibits the bug. I have done a fair bit of listening to both Sony and Sharp ATRAC recordings and although my ears are far from golden, I have heard undesirable compression artifacts on some Sharp recordings that are simply not there with the same material on a Sony.

My 2 cents Matthew Wall [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Rodney Peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, December 15, 1999 1:55 AM Subject: MD: Excellent Speaker System For MD And Just About Anything Else Although it may seem to some of you some days I have nothing better to do than monitor this group, that's not true. Today I listened to the four HitDiscs that were delivered Friday, walked several dogs (lots of them in my building so I do it for extra money), made several phone calls, visited with people a few minutes, and was given a script to read. But I have about an hour right now and I wanted to write about an idea I've formed in my head to write for a while about a very economical and excellent powered speaker system I recently purchased which is great for music and everything else. It's an AC only system for starters, unlike the Powered Partners which are now made by Jensen, I believe. It's called the Klipsch Pro Media v.2-400 and you can order it from Klipsch for $250. It's 400 watts, completely self powered and dolby digital-a subwoofer with two six and a half inch woofers and four satellites which each have a three inch mid bass driver and three quarter inch tweeters. It is extremely well built and THX certified, a first for computer speakers which is what they officially are, but you can easily hook them up to an amplifier or TV. All you need are those little adapter joints (for lack of a better word) with two eighth inch female receptors on each end (two of those) and four standard RCA to eighth inch plug cords. I have mine hooked up to the audio outputs of my Toshiba widescreen TV. I run my MD recorders (depending on which one I'm using at the time, usually it's the MDS-JA20ES but it's in the Sony Service Center right now.) You can just as easily plug them into the headphone jack on any MD unit. They are loud and they are awesome, but you can get distortion because of the small size of the speakers and you could even blow them up, I suppose, if they are too loud. But they're plenty loud enough for most tastes. You won't get the kind of performance from these you'd get with a high end amp and top notch audiophile speakers, but for most people it will be very adequate. The subwoofer is rated at 160 watts and the satellites at 60 watts each and the THX certification does mean something. They are awesome for movies, giving a very real theater sound and it if isn't true 5.1 (they don't claim to have a dolby digital decoder built in) you could have fooled me. In my case, the TV acts as the center speaker but you don't really need one, especially if you're listening to music. With standard MD and CD music, you'll get equal amounts of volume in stereo for each of the two channel stereo setups, wherever you happen to be. And they send you a whole lot of speaker wire with mini jack plugs on each end, so you can put them pretty much wherever you want. The master satellite does have a separate volume control for the surrounds and the subwoofer, so you can adjust them to your taste. Musically, I would call them crisp but everybody has a different definition of what that is. You'll get great detail with a lot of bass but not what you'd get from a true audiophile system. It should be noted, however, that in the Good Guys Christmas Catalog, an almost exact Klipsch system sells for $849.99 and those are not powered. The satellites are identical to these and you do get a center channel speaker, but big deal. The subwoofer is also larger and different, even though its rated at 100 watts compared to the 160 watts in this system's subwoofer but I can tell you this one puts out plenty of air. I have it sitting on my eight foot long A/V cabinet and I have felt blasts of air from the subwoofer when I am in bed sometimes and that's probably eight feet away. When you get into things like the creaking ship deep bass notes in "Titanic", it's very realistic sounding. Music is touchier, everyone has slightly different tastes, but for most pop, rock, dance, and hip hop material they suit me just fine. They do pretty well with new age jazz as well, at least I think so. They'd probably be pretty good with classical as well. I don't listen to a lot of classical material but I certainly respect it and those who do and know it well. There's even more information on this system in the November 1999 issue of Sound And Vision where they compare it with six other computer systems. I

Re: MD: Excellent Speaker System For MD And Just About Anything Else
I can assure you I wasn't writing spam. I did feel inspired to write about what I think are the best powered speakers I have ever seen or heard. I have no affiliation whatsoever with Klipsch, and if I did I certainy wouldn't say don't spend $850 for Klipsch speakers when you can get better Klipsch speakers for a third of the price and that was clearly stated in the review. Think of this speaker system as really powerful, extended headphones which is what they are. People write about headphones here a lot. Because you can plug this entire speaker system right into your headphone jack if you use the right connectors with absolutely no amplifier required, or you could use two speakers and the subwoofer if you didn't want to or don't have the y jack to bring both one eighth inch plugs together. But these adapters are easily found at places like Radio Shack. Now you've got 400 watts of THX certified headphone power coming out of any MD player/recorder you choose. I don't think a lot of people knew about this option and it really falls into the category of being financially feasible for almost anybody who has an MD unit of any type. It's not that much different theoretically speaking than writing about some of the patch type thngs wrote about on this list for titling, recording from a computer, and so on. A lot of times those discussions are about fixes and shortcuts. Think of this as a shortcut to getting 400 watts of sound power from any MD player a lot of people on this list probably didn't know existed until I wrote about it. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: Mini Disc Purchase
My point isn't that it can't be heard, but that it seldom occurs. THerefore most people will never experience it unless they have a solo French horn and are practicing THAT note sequence. It didn't happen when the band joined in. SO, like I said before, most people won't even notice it. (Because they won't have it happen in their recordings) If it does happen, they will hear a short sequence of clicks. maybe they can edit that out with the superb editing capabilities of a minidisc recorder. Grin Colin Burchall wrote: "J. Coon" wrote: The problem showed up on a certain note sequence on both the 702 AND the 722. The problem resultes in a few clicks during that note sequence and it sounds like static or a loose mike connection. It probably wouldn't be noticed by most people. I would go for the lower priced unit. The problem most certainly WOULD be noticed by anyone with usable hearing. Analysis of the resulting waveform revealed a sudden DC offset of half the total available amplitude range, leading me to believe that the most significant bit is being inverted for small periods of the waveform. With the system volume at any reasonable level, this noise could be reasonably expected to damage the tweeters in speaker systems - it is THAT bad.

Hoontech has a new DBIII I/O card for the SB Live that has optical in and out, and coax in and out. They are both digital and equivalent as far as the results you get. But if you use Coax out you need a converter (read expensive) to get it to an optical in on your minidisc. The DBIII is only a few dollars more than the DBI, so it would be much cheaper. I use a Hoontech sound card (Yamaha XG) to do optical transfers to and from my Sharp deck, and it works great. Haven't tried the I/O card yet though. -- Maritn -Original Message- I'd just like to ask some questions about this card for the soundblaster Live! value. Is there a way to use the Coaxial out to record digitally? would someone like to explain to me the differences between coaxial and optical? are they like both digital? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However it doesn't come with any protective carrying case. Does anyone know if I can purcase one somewhere? MD is not real popular in Canada so I had to order the MD as a special order. -- Service with a smile Dan Hergott RCDD ICR Hardware Services DC3549A Phone (519) 885-1211 ext:6206 200 University Avenue, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: MZ-E40 charging circuit
Steven Brooks wrote: And I did notice the "charge" right next to "Stop" but have no idea how it would charge or where I would get the equipment to do so. Now that I have the Maxell recharges, is it even worth it? You would need an AC adaptor (Sony ACE45HG), a couple of NiMH batteries (Gaz sez NiCad works too), and a little piece of cardboard to jam the switch in the battery compartment to think it's the NiMH battery pack. The advantages would be you could listen on AC power or charge the batteries without having to remove them by hitting the Stop/Charge button (can't listen and charge at once though). - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: Excellent Speaker System For MD And Just About Anything Else
That's cool. Your speaker system sounds great and on a different level and each one has its validity and potential customers. I'm more of a musicologist than a true audiophile, I like to have the material more than really expensive audio equipment. I love the stuff and I respect i and know it's great, but everybody has different priorities. My main A/V priority right now is the 56" Panasonic HDTV, that's what I want now. Just waiting for the sets to be delivered. Anyway, I would love to have thouands of dollars worth of audio equipment and I imagine I will someday. Everything takes time. Now if only Sony would do a MD Discam with a digital in/out and a portable DVD player with a screen better than the portable Panasonic, Pioneer or Sharp players... - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
