Re: MD: CD vs MD
From: "Donald Person" [EMAIL PROTECTED] What I was referring to was the ease of use... Here we obviously agree. My statement (when you read it in the proper context) was OBVIOUSLY not a comparison of audio quality, but ease-of-use. Please don't jump on a statement just to blurt out a statement containing information we all already know. Sorry dude. Don't be so testy. Just trying to promote discussion, that's all.

Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration (I think other components are also important, and make a substantial difference in audio quality), you are correct that good speakers are vital to a good-sounding system. I agree 100%!! Using flat settings and volume equilibration compensators (I just made that up, but you know what I mean) most well designed electronics will probably have identical audio properties as far as the human ear is concerned. I would have to disagree with that, Larry. If that theory were true, given a good set of speakers, one would not be able to tell the difference between a $500 NAD receiver and a $2000 NAD receiver (both are very well-designed and manufactured). In reality, you can. There is a substantal difference in soundstaging and detail. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: USB to MD
Here is a blurb on it. http://www.harmony-central.com/Newp/2000/ua-30.html "Bondster!" wrote: MD enthusiasts, For some time now I have wanted to burn my mp3 files to my minidiscs. I am also the proud owner of a Mac powerbook with USB ports. A friend of mine suggested that look into buying a Roland UA-30 USB audio interface. What this device essentially does is it transfers the mp3 signal from my powerbook's USB port and convert it to an optical signal (I believe he said it was called "S/PDIF" format) that my Sony minidisc deck can accept. Has anyone tried this? If so, were there any problems? As I mentioned before, my laptop is a Mac G3 Powerbook with USB outputs, OS 9.1 and my Sony minidisc deck is the MDS-JE510 model.

MD: HHB PORTADISC MDP 500
Don't know if anyone mentioned this before but.. Flicking through an audio mag at work, noticed an advert for HHB's pro portable minidisc recorder, HHB PORTADISC MDP 500. One of the listed features is "USB interface" From the HHB website (http://www.hhb.co.uk): "Of particular interest to radio journalists will be the provision of a USB interface for the real-time transfer of files to laptop editing systems, enabling the production of finished news pieces in the field." Unfortunately a "Pro" model, retail price is around 995. --Matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
