MD: My New Portable

2001-03-15 Thread James Jarvie


Greetings to all!  I am excited about my new purchase,
and wanted to share with you.  I just got a Kenwood
DMC-J7R (blue) for $130US.  It was an open box buy
(i.e. someone bought it and then returned it).  So far
I love it!  I bought it primarily because it has a
front-load which will allow me to use it in the car
through the aux input on my CD head unit.  You may
recall that I was looking to run an MD changer through
that, but Richard advised me that it wasn't going to
work.  

Anyway, beside the fact that this has the slot-in
loading, and a nice feel/look to it (I like things
simple), it will be a nice change from my MT-15
because I know have a rechargeable LiIon battery and a
remote.  Also, my MT-15 (which is about 1/2 year old)
was starting to worry me a bit: the screws were coming
loose, and the unit was making more of a mechanical
noise than I remembered.  So using this unit will,
hopefully, prolong the Sharp's life.

If anyone has any info on the Kenwood that (s)he would
like to pass along, please do so.

James

Hey there!

The J7R was my very first piece of MD equipment.

My sample is very sturdy - works great even after several drops, months of
eating dust, and losing the slot "door". It is also the best-sounding among
all the MD portables I have.

Enjoy!
