Re: MD: Sharp and Blaupunkt questions.

2000-10-01 Thread Les


Well

This is the unit that turned me against Sharp MD products for a long, long
time.  In my opinion once you get this problem you are better off going to a
newer model.  I know several folks who have never had any trouble with their
702 models but many who have!  Once this problem starts it is usually a bear
to fix.  I tried fixing my first one 3 times before junking it..  Sharp
seems to have fixed this in their newer models but I still prefer a Sony or
JVC personally and I do not mind the clamshells one bit and have never had
one fail.

As for the automotive units I have no experience with any of them, yet...

 Does anyone have any experience with getting sharp equipment repaired
 (preferably by sharp)?
 I have a 702 that is a non-factory refurb (stupid I know) and now doesn't
 work. It won't even read the TOC anymore (TOC ERR A).
 I'd like to get it repaired, but I need to know about how much sharp will
 charge (remember that there isn't any warranty with them, only the refurb
 place which I don't trust).

 Also, while I have your attention, does anyone have any experience/notes
 with the Blaupunkt "Dallas" MD Car Reciever? The only link from
 minidisc.org to a user page points to a broken server.

 Any input will be appreciated.
 Thanks.

Here is just one more idea...

I am also on a Pro DJ "list" that allows commercial ads that are only pure
commercial ads on Mondays ONLY.  Any other post with a commercial content
must be in response to a direct question concerning a product.  This has
worked quite well for years.

BTW, I now have my mailing list up at www.musicmixers.com/mall and have a
lot more stuff on the gear side now (look for pro MD equipment in the
future).  Expansion is a bit slower than I expected but is steady so I
invite you to look around, sign up for the list and throw suggestions at me.

THANKS and have a GREAT Musical Day!

 Peter Nicholls sent me this and a followup note that I thought was
 interesting:

 It was interesting to read that Scale Factor Edit is being built into
Sony
 machines.  An undocumented feature of the Yamaha MD8 8-track machine
(which
 will work with standard minidiscs in 2-track mode) allows similar fading
in
 and out of already-recorded material, as well as alterations in
equalisation,
 albeit by passing the material through digital-to-analogue conversion and
 back.  The great thing is that it allows you to have several attempts at
the
 fade you want (using real faders), then choose the one you like best.

 recording sessions, and has sometimes used bits of minidisc-originated
 material on commercially released CDs, without comment from reviewers!
Also
 recorded Jazz Big Band CD entirely on MD-8.)

 I asked him whether it was okay to let this tidbit about MD originated
 material being used for making CDs out, and he replied:

 Eric, do pass it on.  I have no qualms about revealing that there are
little
 bits of ATRAC in some classical CD's - my clients were always aware that
if
 necessary I would use MD originated material.  This was usually to cover
 glitches/dropouts from DAT (actually very rare), and more often to cover
 material missing from DAT because MD starts faster (especially if using 6
 secs of buffer) than DAT if a session "take" started unexpectedly.
 
 One producer I worked with a lot, a former head of a major American
classical
 label, had ears like a bat for high frequencies and was VERY fussy about
 sound quality, but she could never tell the difference between MD and DAT
 even on the demanding sound of classical grand piano.
 
 I still use DAT as the master medium rather than MD, but only because the
 theory is better especially when dealing with multi-generation copies,
not
 (as far as I am concerned) the sound on the first generation.

 Peter, for a brief period of time, the largest seller of MD gear (they
could get
 just about everything) was the infamous Mini Disc Now!  For orders in the
US,
 their prices always included shipping and handling.


As a reseller myself I can tell you this is very hard to do with an online
shopping cart.  If for instance I tried putting an accurate shipping charge
on each item you would be way overcharged if you ordered several items.  I
try to get it as close as possible so I use a standard handling fee that
applies to any order reguardless of size and even this way it will come out
a bit high (and less often not enough) if several items are ordered.  I can
manually overide this, and do so all the time but if I switch to a total
online system, which I am considering, I do not know how or if I can do
this. I hope it is easier and better than I think because I do believe it is
wrong to inflate shipping to make up for a low price.  But to each their
own, this obviously works well for some companies.



 If it said $25 for a ten pack of brand X, that was what you paid.  No
hidden
 charges.  The shipping charges were included in the price.


I know several companies are guilty as charged but I have been accussed of
this too because the item might say 1.50 shipping for example and people
miss the BIG print at the start explaining the handling fee.  GEESE, anyone
know how to get priority mail for 1.50???


 While they existed, with the exception of terrible delivery times, they
had
 excellent prices and support.  You could email them with the dumbest
question
 and they always responded to you rapidly.

Well, I try


.

 But I remember my first order from them.  The owner himself used to be the
whole
 company.   He was not a super expert about MD but really loved the media
and
 felt that he was actually not just doing something to make money, but
doing
 something meaningful and good deeds in getting all of this stuff for
people.

I am still a one man operation and try to give personalized service.  I also
offer to meet or beat any published price if at all possible ( I have had to
sell at cost once or twice for a long time customer, but I can not afford to
sell at a loss).  We do have to make money for cryin out loud but I try not
to get rich from each customer..



 The point that I'm trying to make here is to try and always do right by
your
 customers.  If you  do not personally have a passion for MD, don't run an
MD
 business (I believe you do that that passion and wish you a lot of luck
with
 your business).


I have a passion for all audio and it just happens that MD is my favorite
thing right now.  As a mobile DJ it saves my back a lot of pain and I have
always loved recording music since I was a kid.  I think MD is the best
thing that ever came along for mobile DJ use and I continually strive to
sell other DJs on this format..



 Most importantly, don't sell "half" a product.  If you sell a Japanese
domestic
 unit to someone in the US, it needs the transformer, no matter what
anybody
 tries to tell you.  Include it in the price.

 Larry

And, while I am thinking of it, I do give an extra md for orders over 25.00
paid via paypal as I know my friend Peter (hello Pierre) at Kheops does this
as well.  Look for TDK MDs SOON!  I have a new supplier in the works and
hope to discount these in the near future.  For any fellow DJs out there I
am also a new ULTIMATE stand dealer and FX Lighting dealer so
www.musicmixers.com/mall will soon see several NEW additions.  Email me if
you need anything before seeing it at the store, I can order anything at
anytime and have it drop shipped QUICK.  Lasers anyone?

Re: MD: CD quality compared to MD quality

2000-08-23 Thread Les


Well

I do not believe Mike is confused but sounds like someone is and the last
direct reply to my explanation "rested my case" for me whether you knew it
or not, LOL...  I never said ATRAC degraded anything people can hear and do
not believe the modern versions do to any extent that a human ear can hear
it.

Next time you are in a hi fi shop ask for a demo and compare the same cd on
a high end Onkyo or HK unit with high end speakers then listen via the same
amp and speakers to a Technics or JVC and you will see (hear) EXACTLY what I
have been talking about.  The differences are so subtle you will only notice
it at a very low volume...The guys jumping on the volume issue and claiming
they never listen to theirs "that loud" have no idea what I tried to explain
because anyone will listen past the 10% level unless they are perhaps
pushing thousands of watts..

Consumer reports and others who do honest evaluations will claim there is
zero sound difference in CD players.  I believed this for a long time but
now realize their tests were flawed because they were listening to average
speakers which are not capable of producing the differences.  The same
should be reasonably expected from MD decks if such high end units even
exist.

I have 26 years experience in this stuff and some of the  "analogies" just
floor me.  I have one customer that pays double the price to get his CDRs
colored red because he KNOWS they sound better when they are the same disc
and dye; just a different reflective coating (which the red color reduces
reflectivity by the way) so if they sounded different at all (they do not)
he has the quality backwards, LOL...

In any case, nothing should ever be noticed on an average system and only
those of us willing to spend the bucks on speakers alone that most would
flinch at for an entire home theater including a large screen tv would (or
should) even care about such minute differences..  Now I am resting my own
case because I am tired of trying to explain this and think I gave it my
best shot anyway...Anyone who thinks they can hear a difference would not
believe anything other than what they hear anyway; never mind that very
expensive test equipment can't measure a lot of what we "think" we hear,
LOL..

 Not necessarily true. JVC has a reputation for having some of the best
 "consumer-grade" CD and MD players on the market. In fact, for years JVC
 was the only mass-market company to have one of their players listed in
 Stereophile's "Recommended Components." My NAD CD player isn't
 top-of-the-line by any means. Is there a difference in quality? Sure. Is
 it the *real* reason I can hear differences? Not solely, and possibly not
 at all. I do have a receiver that has its own D/A converter. Maybe
 sometime I'll plug my MD player and my CD player into that, then run that
 line to my "main" stereo, just so that both will be using the same D/A
 converter.

 But back to the real topic of this discussion, as I mentioned in my
 initial message, the comparison I outlined was just *one* example of
 situations where I can tell the difference between CD and MD. It's not
 the only one. My CD portable sounds better than my MD portable (even
 though the MD portable has a better headphone amp). Even on our JVC 9000
 mini-system with PSB speakers (which uses the *same* D/A converter for CD
 and MD), I can tell the difference. I was simply trying to provide one
 example that would, to some extent, be a bit more methodologically sound

 The single largest difference folks are going to hear from MD to the next
is
 the deck that was used to record it.  This is not necessarily the ONLY
 difference but it is the largest difference.  So, you can also try
someone
 else's MD recorded on at least an ES machine to listen to the difference.

 As I've said, I disagree. Simply because of the compression involved, the
 CD and MD are going to be different. And as I've already mentioned, as
 long as there *is* a difference, there are going to be some people who
 can

I used Rock and Roll for an example ONLY, cause that's just me.  And I am
not talking about very loud volumes for the subtle differences to disappear,
perhaps 10-15% of your systems power is usually enough for this to happen. I
will normally use some soft jazz or classical to demonstrate as it is easier
to hear differences (still can't hear any after a certain point)

The single largest difference folks are going to hear from MD to the next is
the deck that was used to record it.  This is not necessarily the ONLY

else's MD recorded on at least an ES machine to listen to the difference.

In any case, as I mentioned I have sold a lot of folks, including more than
a few pro DJs on MD by proving to them in my own studio that there is near
zero difference when listening at any real volume at all.  Now if background
elevator music played very softly is your forte then I make no such claim.

 My CD player is an NAD 502. A very good standalone player, but not a
 "pro" model (not sure what you mean by "pro"), nor is it a "very high end
 HDCD" (which won't make a difference on non-HDCDs). I don't have a Sony
 ES MD component for playback -- I use the line out on my JVC home unit or
 on my MZ-R50 -- but I personally think that in my system the limiting
 factor is the quality of the MD recording, not the playback unit.

 Except, I say again; when you turn the volume up to a normal rock and
roll
 level its going to take Superman to hear any difference at all; not just
 between formats but between any decent gear as well (providing the same
 quality speakers are being used, speakers being the most crucial of all
 audio components).

 True, but I don't listen to my rock music that loud ;-) And while turning
 up the volume on rock music can "drown out" the differences in sound
 quality, turning up the volume on classical pieces doesn't quite have the
 same effect. In fact, it often "shows" differences.

 Also, until about 3 months ago I would have agreed with you totally
 on MP3. Since audio is my profession I took another look and have
 found there are now extremely high quality MP3s on the net. When
 converted to waves and burned to CD they are about as good as
 anything, which is why there is now such a fuss about themn I guess.

 I have yet to find an MP3 that has quality good enough to compete with CD
 or MD, but that's just me ;-)

 OK, Larry, I'm game grin

 It all depends on your equipment. For the majority of people who use
 MiniDiscs, there is no audible difference. Most equipment that you buy at
 Circuit City or Best Buy just doesn't produce the differences. This is
 not intended to be "elitest" nor am I saying that you can't get good,
 satisfying sound from Circuit City or Best Buy. Millions of people are
 ecstatically happy with their Circuit City stereos, and I have absolutely
 no problem with that. I am simply stating an objective fact: you can only
 produce a certain level of audio quality within the constraints of
 mass-market audio components. And MD is good enough that within that
 market, it's difficult to tell the difference. However, on higher-end
 systems (or even with very good headphones) the difference in sound
 quality between CD and MD is often immediately audible.


 Let's put this discussion in perspective. My friends and I often debate
 whether or not MP3 is "CD-quality." They'll argue for hours that it is --
 then I go to their place and see that they're listening to CDs and MP3s
 on their computer with $30 Labtec speakers. Of course they sound the
 same! grin There exists a level of "system quality" below which they
 sound the same, and above which there is an audible difference in
 quality. Our discussion here is simply raising everything up to a higher
 level: even on a decent system, CD and MD may sound the same. However,
 there is still a threshold of system quality above which you will be able
 to hear the difference.



Have to give my 2 cents worth (again) on this one.

A lot of truth here but you might want to consider component quality and not

Hello

With over 22 years of experience in electronics as both a technician and
audio enthusiast your story is totally believable ONLY with analog
equipment.  As I have stated many times you need test equipment costing 10k
or more to even measure a difference from CD to MD much less the difference
between one blank and another. I have yet to find one single customer as a
mobile DJ who can tell me if I am playing the same tune via CD or MD
(regardless of which brand blank it may be).  If your test is truly
repeatable then there is something wrong with your gear or something went
wrong while recording.  If there were truly ANY difference I would use ONLY
the best for mobile DJ use; as it is I stick with HiSpace for price.  I make
almost the same argument for CD blanks except that we have compatibility
issues to deal with on those; unlike MD..

Speaking of HiSpace; the 80 minute month at musicmixers is now over half
gone.  If you have not checked out the special deals yet, do so before they
are gone..

  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

 "you're crazy!".  First off did you and your friend do blind listening
 tests, that is you didn't know which disc was which while listening (so
 you put a disc in and your friend listens, and vice versa)-- also just to
 make it more interesting, sometimes use the same disc for both of the

 and see if a difference is still as noticeable [I bet it probably would

Five 80 Minute Color MDs by HiSpace will be just 59.50 (including USPS =
