MD: Hyperjack
Has anyone ever ordered anything from Hyperjack, and if so, how reliable are they? I'm thinking of ordering the MZ-R900 from them, but I was once ripped off trying to buy a portable minidisc recorder online, so I'm a little more suspicious now. Any help is very much appreciated. -- -Nicholas Christ [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: Hyperjack
I bought my Sharp 831 and Sony R900 from Hyperjack. They're very reliable, and seems to be cheaper than other established retailers (Japan-Direct, etc). Hyperjack sends your package as a gift, and they really wrap it in wrapping paper. I've had very favorable experiences with them, and would recommend them any day. I got my R900 for $381 US. The price varies slightly with exchange rate fluctuations, but they will quote you what they want to charge if you ask or place an order. I feel less ripped off with Hyperjack than Minidisco, price-wise. Leon Has anyone ever ordered anything from Hyperjack, and if so, how reliable are they?

Re: MD: noise-cancelling headphones
At 10/17/00 3:06 PM, matthew c. mead increased the world's knowledge by typing: I'm going to Paris over thanksgiving week, and I plan on taking my Sharp 722 and some music. I'm curious if anyone has used the various brands of noise cancelling headphones. If so, which ones seem to work well, and which don't? Thanks! I used the Sony NC-10 earbuds on my flights to and from Califonia. (I live in Pennsylvania.) It was amazing how much noise they really removed. Just putting them in cancelled quite a bit of noise, but turning on the active cancellation still made a world of difference. And it certainly didn't hurt that they sound good too. :-) Ed "What the" Heckman [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--+ | Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you | | want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo | | breaks down. | | -- Oprah Winfrey | +--+ - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: noise-cancelling headphones
=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === i recently purchased a pair of noise cancelling headphones for flying and i can say 110% without a doubt that they are worth every penny. the one thing i did notice is that if there is someone around that likes to talk (like on every flight) that has an annoying voice (again on every flight) they talk louder than normal because they have to compensate for the engine noise, where you are cancelling a bunch of that, it does not cancel out the annoying people who appear louder :( - Original Message - From: "Leon" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 11:08 PM Subject: Re: MD: noise-cancelling headphones You're much better off getting a pair of Sony MDR-EX70 or (preferably) Etymotic ER-4S/4P. I find these less complicated, easier to use, and in Etymotic's case, FAR more quality sound for your money. If you're determined to get noise-cancelling headphones, steer clear of Sony's MDR-NC5. I find those compromised in so many ways, they're not worth the price. :) Leon From: "matthew c. mead" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 15:06:34 -0400 To: md-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MD: noise-cancelling headphones I'm going to Paris over thanksgiving week, and I plan on taking my Sharp 722 and some music.

MD: MZR-3 fixed.
The Issue: Well for the first time in it's life (which is 6 years) the MZR-3 started to give me trouble. So even though it's so old, having paid $1200AUD for it brand new (in the days when the Aussie dollar was about $0.80USD and not the $0.50US it now gets), I decided it was at least worth getting a technician to look at. The Problem: The unit would shut itself down on mains or battery for no known reason. ... could shake it like mad and it would be OK, give it the smallest bump and it might turn off, leave it alone and it would turn off. The Tech Report: At first they couldn't find the problem looked at the power side of things and everything was OK. Then up on the "bench" they found the unit was getting a shut down command. the problem was sourced to a couple of faulty microswitches. The Damage: Parts have to come from interstate (from NSW to WA - approx 3000kms). Add in the labour charge, a full internal clean, head re-alignment and testing and you get $159. I consider this OK as it's still short of the $600+AUD we have to pay for a MZR90. So I'm writing it off as $26AUD investment in maintenance per year, not too hard to take. The Conclusion: Shelling out the dough next week when they finish (ie when the parts arrive). So the MZR-3 lives on and in this case was worth fixing will be hanging on to it until LP2-4 becomes standard across all the MD range, then maybe it's time to upgrade. (PS: I have a JE-520 which I use for recording anyway). Don't overlook the older units ... as sometimes they are worth salvaging.
