Re: MD: Soundcards
For about $40 total, the Zoltrix Nightingale with the optical upgrade board will give you coaxial spdif in and out. It's a PCI card. In order to get the coaxial input, you have to make a coaxial connector that you can add onto some jumpers on the optical board. It's simple, and if you screw up, you're only out $20 or so.

That's an excellent Idea !!! I use the Sharp MS-722 all day long and it's the best unit I bought since the begining of minidisc... I also bought the Sharp Audio System with 3 CD , 1 MD, Tuner and Cassette and it's great for the price ! The sharp MS-722 is very robust, very strong and a great look !

RE: MD: Xitel MDport-DG1 or Soundcard?
Sorry if I'm not objective, but Xitel MD Port an1 and dg1 are the best optical and analog port I ever used... No conflicts, no installation (basic installation) it's USB port, don't need to open your computer, for me, it's the best ! I don't sell DG1 anymore since there is, however, some conflict with some kind of recorder player... They will fix this soon and then, I will probably bought again from Xitel...

This card has all of the jacks and ports in the front (it replaced a drive bay cover). I'd just like to point out that if you want to use your computer for lots of audio stuff (not just mp3-minidisc) then the SBLive is probably not a good purchase, since it has very high latency. You constantly read "Sound Blaster compatible". So why not get a Real Sound Blaster in the first place? Because that is referring to DOS drivers, even the SBLive is only "compatible" (i.e. it emulates the DOS SB stuff). Stay away from Turtle Beach or who ever makes them now. Why? The Santa Cruz (their latest card) seems good from the reviews I've read. Roland makes an amazing sound card with a separate "port replicator". It costs about $400! You can buy a soundcard made by Korg (the Oasys) that costs $2000+. :) I think it is designed mainly for musicians to use (although it will work fine for anyone if you want to spend the money). If you want to spend that much money, I'd recommend the M Audio (a "sub-brand" of Midiman) Delta 66, it has digital out as well as several other ports, and you can get it for about $279. It has no MIDI port though. It's kind of crazy that the companies we trust so much for audio equipment don't make the sound cards. Don't you think there should be Onkyo or Pioneer or Rotel or what ever sound cards? Even an Aiwa might be nice. Those companies aren't really in the computer market, it's a whole different type of thing, really. Most companies that make good audio stuff only make really high-end soundcards anyway (e.g. the aforementioned Korg card) -- JT - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

"J. van de Griek" wrote: CPS means cycles per second. That makes sense and tells you exactly with it is. Not in German, French, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish, Swahili or Afrikaans. That might not be exactly correct. You'd have to find an old audiophile who was from one of those countries and see what term was used when we used cps. Then you have to ask him what it meant to him. There are many words in all languages that become known and accepted in other languages. So while a particular language might have their own words for each of the individual words in their language, they might also understand the phrase "cycles per second" to mean exactly that. What language is the word Kilometer? It is understood in many countries. The first thing that pops into my head (no pun intended) when you the "official" terms for both male and female oral sex are not English words. We have other slang words that are more common, Yet most people would understand the foreign words. Now here is where my dyslexia comes in when it comes to spelling. So just sound it out, I'm sure the following phrase is not spelled correctly. In Flagrant DeLecto or Inflagrandi. We have English words to describe that (by the way, that's the way I want to die-in my eighties with all of my faculties and a 21 year old model on top of me just like my hero Nelson R. I'd like to be as rich as him too). But we still also use the foreign term. Hertz or HZ means nothing and even if you only use the HZ, all you are saving is one letter. It's Hz, (my dyslexia again) and everyone who knows remotely what they're talking about will know what you mean. A Hz is a second to the power of -1. Everyone? I'll bet that there are many, many people who know that a stereo with 20 to 20,000Hz is supposed to be very good (these same people have never heard of the word "flat") but haven't a clue what the Hz stands for. (US: 60Hz, Europe: 50Hz), etc. But in the spoken word I still hear people refer to it as cycle as in "sixty cycle". People don't call it Hertz. Just for the hell of it a checked a very old amp that I have. It states "60~" So at one time "~" meant cycle. __ Once again one of my dumber posts has lead to a long thread and now it even seems it has gotten to the point where people are starting to get mean about it.

Hopefully it is an AUX input. The apartment were I am moving to is small and I really don't have room for the surround system that I have in my current bedroom. The is one problem with Mercata. They add sales tax, However, they don't even add the correct amount. They over charge you. I have notified them about this. I wonder if they pay the taxes to all 49 states- (DE does not have sales tax). It is very unusual for most e commerce businesses to charge tax except in the states were they are physically located. The big "boys" do (like Lands End etc). Again I don't see why though. Why bother with the extra bookkeeping since you are not required to? I'll be that even the "big boys" "shave" they pay to outside states. Think about it. A state outside of the state you are located in can not audit your sales tax books because you have no legal obligation to collect the tax in the first place. You understate you gross sales by 25% and if you are big enough you have picked up an nice little nest egg by the end of the year. After the FTC thing with huge companies like Macys and Toys R US, I would not be surprised to find these kinds of practices going on. Lets face it. Anytime that a state collects any sales tax from a company not located in that state it is a "gift" Though technically the buyer is supposed to voluntarily pay the state tax, this almost never happens. So any tax the state gets from out of state is "found money". Be careful of buying from neighboring states. I once bought $1000 worth of audio equipment from a mail order company in NYC. Three years later I got a letter from the PA tax department telling me that the NY business had a tax audit and I owed PA $60 plus interest. They didn't give me very long to pay it either. If that ever happens again, I'm going to tell them about all of the mail in rebates that I received as far as the statue allows you to go back and request a refund plus interest. If someone filed a class action suit against a state already have financial troubles, if you won you might bankrupt the state. I really think that a person would have a strong case with regard to rebates. Why should a mail in rebate differ from an instant rebate? If you receive an instant rebate, you are only taxed on the price that you actually paid. On a mail in rebate, just because there is a delay, our actual purchase price is still the price you paid in the store minus the rebate. Just my dumb 2 cents Nasty Larry (I have a tiny little part in an independent film called The Cancer where I play this pervert into porn whose name is Nasty Larry. I film porn and stuff like that, but it's a real small part (plus we have to hope that someone will pick up the film). BTW, Blair Witch was NOT shot on video. That's all BS. they did it to hype the movie. But the movie I will be in is going to be shot on video. The quality of video is getting so good that it is approaching film.

MD: New to the List with a few Mini-disk related questions...
Hi! I have been into mini-disks for about the last 1 1/2 years (still learning alot). I got rid of my cassette player in my car and got a mini-disk player, I got rid of all the walk-man players and replaced them with portable mini-disk player/recorders. Here are my questions: 1. Now that there is technology for CD-players to play MP3s directly from CDs (in their compressed format), is there/will there be mini-disk units that can directly decode and play MP3's? 2. I enjoy an occasional audio book (like The Celestine Prophecy and related books), is there an easy way to get audio books that fit onto mini-disks without having to be there to start and stop things to record them? 3. Okay, this may be a really dumb question but, is there a mini-disk cartridge to plug into your car mini-disk player that allows you to feed in sound from another device similar to all the cassette cartridges that play anything from radio to CD players? 4. Where is the cheapest source for BULK blank mini-disks? 5. I understand that "MiniDisc Long Play" aka MDLP requires a new mini-disk device, are they of the same sound quality, do they require special media, and are they readily available in the US? 6. And finally, what is all this talk about multi-track MiniDisc-based recorders? Thanx for any light you can shed on these questions. Take care...
