It's a dog gone good read, that. I highly recommend it. But as I said earlier, I've gotten two people that think akin to me, so we'll just keep buying the TDKs and everyone will be pretty happy with the whole business. > -- > From: Charles Redell > Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, August 18, 2000 7:23 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: MD: sound quality difference in blanks? > > > > "Davini, Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > > > I read the "Myths" within the Minidisc.org page, and everything Mr. > > > Woudenberg writes makes perfect sense to me, BUT - - - - Could > > > someone please tell me WHY I REALLY DO hear a difference between > > > discs then? > > I don't understand why there isn't a differnece in sound quality between > blanks (If that is really the case)?

MD: sound quality difference in blanks?
Hi everyone: I'm a total "newbie" not only to this list, but also to Minidiscs in general, just having purchased a Sony MDS-JB920. I love it! It sounds great. I read the "Myths" within the Minidisc.org page, and everything Mr. Woudenberg writes makes perfect sense to me, BUT - - - - Could someone please tell me WHY I REALLY DO hear a difference between discs then? I was using the regular Sony Color collection discs, but then bought some Maxell GOLD, and I was amazed by the sonic difference. I recorded through the analog ins, direct from the CD player, same tune, and never changed anything (input levels) and could sense exactly what those "audiophiles" were saying - more clarity in the highs, lows had a nice roundness... Okay, okay! I know, and since I'm 41, I figured I must be deaf, and REALLY wanting to hear a difference. So I played the same test for a twenty five year old friend of mine, who doesn't have any preconceived notions about MD, (and didn't kick the extra money for the GOLD blanks) and HE could tell instantly! So I guess I need to know if anyone else out there is going through the same thing, or are you all going to tell me I'm crazy? Mark S.
