Re: MD: Headphones
Now, the next problem, where to find the cheapest dealer on the Netfor these :(. Amazon.com are the cheapest I've seen (thanks to Franciso on this list) but unfortunately they won't ship these headphones outside of the USA :( ZM I'm assuming you're in the UK - Richer Sounds is the only place I've seen that carries the Koss Sporta Pros. You can order online from http://www.richersounds.com/ if you haven't got a local branch. hth, -- Simon - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: Headphones
Thanks for that. Yes I am in the UK. And I have been searching around the last couple of days, and Richer Sounds seems to be the only one stocking these over here. I found a load of retailers selling these headphones on www.biznet.com. egghead.com was one of the cheapest ones, and I think they do delivery to the UK. I'll let you all know if they do :) Otherwise its off to the local Richer Sounds ...

Re: MD: MD Minisystems, Aiwa XR-H66MD
Thanks for the review of the MD-C2. Funny story, I had ordered this unit once already from valueamerica.com. 2 days later, valueamerica goes bankrupt and I didn't get my stereo. Ah well, I'll probably get a C2 or the aforementioned Aiwaor perhaps the JVC, though it isnt as loud as I'd like :). I'll write a short review once I buy and use one. Dan Scellen Also, does anyone know where to buy any of those newer Kenwood or JVC units on the T-Station products page?? Or the Sony pepz series? Those are really nice. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My General Electrics DVD player cannot read audio CDs I burn onto CD-RW. There are DVD burners available, but they run in the neighborhood of about 5000$ each, and that's not counting the expensive and processor-intensive software that you have to use to compress movies onto DVDs. ...but that's for another forum altogether... - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As I said, DVD-Video decks should be able to read CD-RW media. If yours does not then the fault is your deck, not the media, and there really isn't much you can do about it. -- Rat [EMAIL PROTECTED]\ Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ unknown glowing substance which fell to PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ Earth, presumably from outer space. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
