Re: MD: Wanted: Usable MD/PC device
What I'd like: Sony (or Sharp) needs to release both SCSI and IDE/ATAPI MD drives that accept the CD-R/CD-RW SCSI command set, and behave just like CDRW drives. The drives need to have full read/write capability to MD-Audio, MD-Data, and MD-Data2/MD-View discs. A USB drive may be an OK alternative, but personally I'm still a SCSI fan; i dont know whether this has been mentioned on the list before but there is a new 'Compact PC compatible MD deck'(with LP) from sony, the MDSPC3. it uses USB and a linkup kit is provided. it also has digital input and output. details at: [in japanese] http://www.sony.co.jp/sd/ProductsPark/Models/New/MDS-PC3_J_1/index.html http://www.avland.co.uk/sony/mdspc3/index.htm it sells for 300UKP at avland. luke _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: MD: MDS-JE440 and Mono mode
=== The original message was multipart MIME=== === All non-text parts (attachments) have been removed === I believe I saw a table that said that some new LP equipment do not play sp mono. Hi JT, Yes, it records in mono mode. As an aside, does anyone know of any post 1998 MD decks that don't record in mono? Rick JT [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does anyone know if this deck can record in Mono mode? I'm thinking of getting it (since it has MDLP recording modes) but I can't seem to find any info on this particular feature (even at Sony's site!) I know it doesn't have any digital outputs, but that doesn't bother me (especially since it's on sale near me for $180) Thanks, Josh - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] === MIME part removed : text/html; === - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Listening to compression
Anthony Lalande wrote... While I'm not sure what exactly AGC means, I have heard somewhere that ears are able to focus and lose focus of sounds and noise in a dynamic way. I was once advised to buy full-ear headphones as opposed to ear-buds because sounds hitting the outer part of the ear actually help the inside of the ear adjust to what it's listening to, and can help prevent damage in a way that ear-buds cannot. Does anyone know enough about the working of the human ear to validate or deny this? This sounds like rubbish to me. The tympanic membrane (ear drum) is linked to the ossicular chain (hammer, anvil and stirrup in plain English) and they convert sound energy into mechanical energy before it gets passed to the cochlear in the inner ear to be converted into electrical signals which are processed by the brain. The shape of outer ear (ie the bits stuck to the side of your head) is good for capturing sound and directing it down the ear canal, which acts as a resonating chamber, but the ear itself cannot simply 'adjust' to the sound that 'hits' it. Remember, the pupil of the eye can contract and expand to allow in less / more light, but there is no equivalent function in the ear. If the amplitude of the sound goes above the loudness discomfort level (LDL) for a period of time you may suffer temporary or even permanent hearing loss. This can occur in many ways, commonly in the form of hairline cracks in the tympanic membrane; or hair cells in the cochlear which carry on 'firing' without stimulus (usually resulting in tinnitus). Meanwhile, its the brain's job to process the electrical signals fed to it by the inner ear. Although the cochlear does do an astonishingly complex job, the brain, *not* the ear does the processing, and as I've already written, the ear can't really adjust itself (only *you* can, by putting your hands over your ears) Oh yes, AGC is Automatic Gain Control. This is a technique used on some MiniDisc recorders and hearing aids as a way of 'squashing' peaks in the sound being recorded / processed. However, it is a relatively coarse method of control, and the use of AGC on hearing aids can lead to much distortion of speech. Of course, all this isn't to say that you can't damage your hearing with earbuds. They provide less isolation than full-ear headphones, which makes it tempting to increase the volume in order to overcome extraneous noise. So yes, earbuds may indeed be (potentially) worse for the health of your ears, but not for the reasons you were told. Hope that answers everything. Robin.

Re: MD: ATRAC lossiness
* "Howard Chu" [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Mon, 15 Jan 2001 | about 4000 samples. So, it's been pretty much impossible for me to do a | direct bit-for-bit comparison of the ATRAC audio with the original WAV data. And useless, by the way. If you make a recording of a cricket chirping and a jumbo jet flies overhead, you cannot hear the cricket over the sound of the jet. ATRAC removes the sounds the cricket makes. When you do the bitwise comparison of the original vs. the reduced version, you can hear the cricket because that is what was removed, assuming that the fidelity of the original recording is sufficient to have picked it up in the first place. But that tells you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN REALLY HEAR. The objective comparison is fundamentally flawed because hearing is subjective. -- Rat [EMAIL PROTECTED]\ Happy Fun Ball contains a liquid core, Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ which, if exposed due to rupture, should PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ not be touched, inhaled, or looked at. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
