RE: MD: Refurbished Sharp 702s
I just wanted to post a warning here about Refurbished Sharp 702s that appear all over Ebay and other auction sites. These "things" have a 30 Day Warranty and are NOT "Factory Refurbished". It's unfortunate for people like the gentleman who has just experience problems with his refurb. What do you mean not factory refurbished ? Who else has the knowledge to "refurbish" Sharp 702s in the US ? I try to keep an eye on it since I'm a Power Seller there. I don't know how these units made it back out into the public, who is at fault. If anyone knows any specifics on these units, let me know. This is about the 5th time Make it the 6th time. My roomy got one of those units from ebay, and on the 40th day, the optical block failed. Cost him $300CDN to replace the optical block. Yup, he paid $150 originally.

RE: MD: Loudness feature on stereos
I consider the loudness switch on an amplifier as simply a "preset" tone modification which provides a bit of extra low-end and high-end response to the signal, in addition to what was obtained with the tone controls. Actually, I think this has been stated, but a properly designed loudness feature would be dependent on the volume. At low volumes, the loudness feature should be on at 100%, but at higher volumes, the loudness would slowly be turned off, until the volume reaches a certain point where the loudness feature would turn off completely. Most decent units that have loudness I have seen operate this way, but cheaper units leave it on all the time regardless of the volume. I believe Sony's megabass operated this way, whether or not it still operates this way I'm not clear. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: MD: Off topic- Playstation 2
I think someone mentioned that it will be using DVD drives un/fortunately. Speaking of that, didn't Sony mention some sort of MD drive for the thing when it was in development? What ever happened to that, is it still gonna have that? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: MD: 240 V
md, 240 - 110, and one inside which converts from 110 to 12 or so. the point is that loss occurs in every transformation, although this is very little there still is some. and there'll be always some current flowing in the 240 - 110 converter unless you want to turn on/off the converter and md every time, so there's some loss to. Erm, the R-91 is a portable, is it not? I think it would be a tad bulky if it had a 110 to 12V transformer inside it :-) Sorry, what's transformer loss? I don't think it's got a lot to do with powering an MD walkman... I think he meant that if the 240 to 110 convertor was always plugged into the wall, even though nothing was plugged into it, the transformer would still "use" electricity (and generate heat in the process). Other than that, I'm not sure what he could have meant. If you go for the Japanese one, you'll end up with a brick-in-the-wall transformer which converts from 240-110, then the 110-DC transformer which Actually, It's 100V in Japan, not 110. It does make a difference to the point that a Japanese transformer rated to work at 100V plugged into an 110V source could damage the portable. If you are getting a Japanese model, make sure you have a 240-100V transformer (or at worst, a 240-110V then a 110V-100V). I ended up buying a 110V to 100V when i moved from Japan back to Canada.

RE: MD: Pure marketing hype from Sony
But what the accuracy of the data comes down to is that whilst the error correction my cause the errors on the discs, etc to be unnoticable, it is still ony the machine's best guess as to what should be there, so it isn't exactly what the original should sound like. It may only be the No. The error correction is based on a mathematical algorithm which allows perfect reconstruction of the original data if the # of errors doesn't exceed the threshold (BLER 220). - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
