MD: best portable player
I'm looking for a portable MD player that will do LP mode. The products I see are few and the price is high ... Frankly I think anything over $200 I consider too high for a reader, and I'd like some $100 options. I have checked the T listing for these and Minidisco. I wonder what the Sharp ST-70 will go for? Anyone have a recommendation? Thanks. -jts Arlington, TX - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

there are no mdlp portables for that cheap. it's a brand new product. peter On 19 Feb 01, 11:41AM, John Small wrote: I'm looking for a portable MD player that will do LP mode.

Re: MD: best portable player
Hey, The ST70 is a more casual (more plasticky) version of the ST77. However, the online retailers may still charge a premium for it. Sony's MZ-E300 doesn't seem to be LP capable, so the best bet is probably to look at the MZ-E500. Yeah, I know Minidisco charges 250 bucks, but all the other LP models you can get is for about the same amount. Hyperjack charges: - $207 + $35 shipping for the same Sony E500; - $207 + $45 shipping for Kenwood DMC-M55; - $199 + $30 shipping for JVC XM-P2000. http://www.hyperjack.net/japanese.htm If you really can't afford to pay over $200, it'd be a good idea to wait for a couple of years and then come back and buy today's models. :-) Leon on 2/19/01 9:41 AM, John Small at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm looking for a portable MD player that will do LP mode.

Re: MD: best portable player
The problem is, if you don't pay over $200, you're not going to get what you want right now. If you can't find a solution within the MD format, then the solution is simple: DON'T USE MD.

* John Small [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Mon, 19 Feb 2001 | Would you pay over $200 for an MD player? More to the point, would I pay over $200 for a portable MD recorder? The answer to that for me is four times yes: Sony MZ-R30, Sharp MS-702, Sony MZ-R90, Sharp MS-722. The R30 was the most expensive unit when purchased, at $350. -- Rat [EMAIL PROTECTED]\ Warning: pregnant women, the elderly, and Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ children under 10 should avoid prolonged PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ exposure to Happy Fun Ball. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The R30 was the most expensive unit when purchased, at $350. To be clear, I'm asking about a player only, not recorder. I have an MZ-R50 that I paid $465 for when it first hit the market three years ago. It has been wonderful. Now that I have a 940 deck with LP4 I want to use that for time shifting radio. So I need a player. Otherwise I'm taking 2-4 hours to copy the LP4 over to mono on the R50. That will work but it's is time consuming making the transfer. So I'm looking for a portable player. I have an E40 and most of the time a player is just fine and if I need portable recording I do have the R50. I would spend $200 for a player, reluctantly. I would be very happy at $100.

MD: Best Portable Player Only?
Hi, I currently use a Sharp 722, but I was looking to sell that and go for a home deck and portable player. In the areas of size, feature and playback quality - which would be the best portable player? I'm looking for a player that's sounds as good or better than the 722, but something smaller and definetly lighter. I like the bass cut-off feature on the 722, where the distortion is removed when the volume turned up too high. Features like that, and a player that's good for all around music - mostly heavy bass, which I'd like to be clear (I know this is dependant on the headphones as well.) Any suggestions? -Chet - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
