RE: MD: Sony MZ-R900DPC in stock at etronics.com
Also, is it just me, or does the PCLink cable pictured look remarkably similar to the new DG-2 available from Xitel? Are they both sourcing some third party for that cable now?

Is it just an extra cable? The pic looks like there's a different design from my 900 - the silver round shape on the front? Al http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=sonmzr900dpcr The picture on that page shows a deeper brick color for the 900DPC than the painfully vivid reds in other photographs of it on the web. Is there anyone on the list who has seen one and can describe the color? If the real color of the red MZ-R900DPC is like Etronics' illustration, perhaps I'll buy one now and not wait for the silver model promised for late summer.

Oh, I was most definitely joking.

RE: MD: Christmas Present Gloat: BO earphones
The model is A8 - I was lucky enough to get a pair of these from my wife for Christmas. They sound fantastic connected to my Aiwa AM-F70 on my walk to work each morning. :) Regards, Grant -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of tenebrion Sent: Friday, December 29, 2000 11:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MD: Christmas Present Gloat: BO earphones Someone recently was enquiring about high quality earbuds. Take a look at Bang Olufsen's latest offering - they don't actually have a model name or number, but as they seem to be the only model, they're quite easy to identify. As you might expect from BO, the design is extraordinary. Made from aluminium and hard rubber, they consist of an over the ear section, like part of a pair of spectacles, connected to an adjustable metal rod which sits in front of the ear. This holds the earbud itself, which in turn is articulated in such a way that it can press into the ear for maximum bass response. Hard to describe, but think Borg implants and you'll get the general impression. More importantly, they sound awesome, and have easily supplanted my old pair of Aiwa VX50's, which were the only earbuds which in their time merited comparison with over the ear models. Visit www.bang-olufsen.com and look under accessories for a closer look. The site is a masterpiece of design, but very flash intensive, so you need a fast connection. Having said that, I suppose to habitual BO purchasers, that's a given. I don't know how much the little beauties cost, but as they were the main present from my significant other - I hope it was a great deal!

RE: MD: optical cords!
Haven't ever seen the cables you're talking about, but beyond being able to transmit a signal successfully, there's no real difference between optical (or coax) cable A and cable B - if it gets the signal from the source to the destination without introducing error (and I've yet to see a commercial cable that couldn't), it's good enough. Anything above and beyond that, IN TERMS OF SIGNAL QUALITY, is wasted money. I've seen a documented experiment where a guy took a rusty coat hanger with RCA plugs alligator-clipped to each end and used it as the digital audio link between his DVD and his preprocessor - worked like a champ (his preprocessor showed 0% error rate on the connection). Having said that, it's nice to get an optical cable with a sturdy jacket, to help prolong it's life crammed in with 50 other cables behind your hi-fi. Not necessary, but nice.

RE: MD: Aiwa AM-F70 blip at end of last track!? (off-list)
I have an AM-F70 (US domestic model, if it matters), and have never heard the problem you describe. Sounds like you got a bum unit - swap it out with your retailer, if you can.

Today I've listened to a couple of MDs all the way through, and after the last track on the disc, it seems to have a short, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 second blip of sound, after the track is done. Most portable MD players / recorders tend to beep once the end of the recording has been reached - I know my Sharp does. It won't do anything to your recordings, and if it is bothering you, it might be possible to switch the beeps off. Again, I know this is possible Actually, it's not a beep or tone, it's like the buffer still has a bit of audio data in it, and plays it after the track has ended. I've also confirmed this doesn't happen on my in-dash MD receiver. Thanks for the suggestion, though! Can anyone with this unit confirm the behavior? If returning it will correct the problem, I'd like to do so, if it won't, I'll just hang onto it. Otherwise I'm very happy with it, but I'd like to find out if this is common. Anyone else with an Aiwa AM-F70 care to check?
