 well, 1,3,7,15,31 is (2^n)-1, though the rest of the pattern seems

 any ideas?

Re: MD: . what's a good portable recorder

2001-03-13 Thread Dan Scellen


I would definitely look at uBid.  If you are getting a recorder for minimal
use, and size isn't an issue, you should look at the Sharp MD-MT15 they put
up frequently.  You could get it pretty cheap in comparison, and I think
that Sharps are much easier to use, especially when recording.

Subject: MD: . what's a good portable recorder



 hello-

 i've come to the realization that although i have a portable player and
 home recorder, i'd like a portable recorder.

 i run a lot of interviews and studies and i'm tired of using those old
 tape recorder that sound so crap.

 so i was trying to see what y'all recommend. are there any major
 differences between the R70 and the R90? are the sharp recorders good?
 finally, do you think it's necessary to buy one from a store and buy the
 extended warranty? i'll be using the regular portable mostly (which has
 EW) so the portable recorder won't be used a lot. so i was thinking of
 just saving some money and buying one on ebay or u-bid.com

 i'd appreciate your advice.

I'd love a PDA with MD as its storage medium.  It's really quite a good
idea.

From: Eric Woudenberg, Minidisc.org Editor
 I heard from a friend inside Sony Electronics US that they nearly went
 through the roof the day they saw it. Sony was busy working on their
 first PDA at the time (it's now out), and the spoof came through like
 "Here's what that PDA *OUGHT* to look like guys! Hope yours isn't
 *boring* compared to this!"

Re: MD: chopping off headphone jack

2001-02-22 Thread Dan Scellen


From what I understand, the problem isn't that it doesn't function, it's
that it doesn't work for his needs.  If he plugs in the airhead after the
remote, then there is a big object in the line between the headphones and
the remote.  He wants to "chop off" the headphone connector of the remote so
he can plug the airhead into that, and his headphones into the airhead.
Then he has the remote on a separate wire, easy to use.  This way, he can
tuck away the airhead along with the E900.
I, however, have no solution for you.

Dan

 That's extremely odd.

 Does the remote work when you use a regular headphone?

It's strange that people are having such a hard time understanding his

Re: MD: chopping off headphone jack

2001-02-22 Thread Dan Scellen


I've never tried making diagrams with text before, but I'll try to show you
what Niels is thinking:
()
()  [][]
   |_|:::}---

this is what the remote plug looks like on my Aiwa.  It's not the same as my
sharp, but I can only assume that his E900 plug is similar to this one.  the
[][] part is the remote connection, and the other is the 3.5 mm connector.
His problem is this:
__
|   MD |---[Remote][AirHead Amp (big, heavy)][Headphones]
|  unit   |
-

This is the easiest set up, but it isn't very practical for use.  Can you
imagine clipping the remote to your shirt and having the headphone amp
dangle on the line?  It just won't work.  He probably wants to have his
airhead and md unit in his pocket, while the remote is usable.  His solution
was this:  Cut the plastic in the remote plug (1st diagram), to separate the
remote portion, and the 3.5mm connector.  Then, throw away the 3.5mm jack
(basically).  Now, his setup would look like this:
__
|   MD |--[Remote]
|  unit   |[AirHead Amp (big, heavy)][Headphones]
-
So, as PrinceGaz said, the question is whether or not the remote needs the
3.5mm (probably not), and whether or not the remote connectors are strong
enough (probably).  Go for it Niels.

Re: MD: Mic In

2001-02-04 Thread Dan Scellen


From: Ivica Petrovic [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 is there any MD based bookshelf, mini system, micro system, or home decks
 with a Microphone Input in it? And it must be readily available, of
course,
 something still producing by the MD manufacturers ( don't advised me into
 some sort of prehistory machine, please)!

Well, I know you said not to advise you to a prehistory machine, but since
no one else responded...  Two minisystems have mic inputs: The Aiwa
XR-H66MD, which could be bought from electronics emall's refurbished store
(www.refurbishedstore.com) recently, has 2 mic ins and karaoke features.
That system has gone out of stock, but they claim it will be back.  You
could email them about it.  Also, the Sharp MD-X60 I believe has a mic
input.  I remember reading one review that mentioned it, and looking at the
picture, I think I can spot it.  Not really sure where to get that for a
reasonable price, but Minidisco had it in their garage sale for
$179.95that has since gone too.  Those are the two I know of, if you do
find either let me know.

That's true.  Just about a week ago, my 20 yr old brother started to use my

perfectly content with them.  Well, after a week using MDs, he said to me
last night "Minidisc is the way to go.  Why have these not caught on yet?"
He is now the 4th person I've converted to MDs, and I've only tried to

If you think LP4 sounds great, listen to it, and brag that you get 320

No, no.  You missed my point.  If I buy a stereo that has no subwoofer out,
but has an analog out, will it sound as good (or the same) if I hook up a
subwoofer to the analog out?  I would probably get some cable that converts
2 RCA stereo jacks to 1 mono jack for the sub.
