BEGIN QUOTE I've read about the new 650 meg md's coming out, but I've also read that they will only be data MDs. I'm pretty sure that this is not the most current news, so can anybody enlighten me as to the current situation for 650 meg

1999-09-22 Thread Cameron Munro
Anyone got any experiences to share with this unit? It seems REAL similar in most respects to the Aiwa AM-F70. Is the AA-pack a clip-on unit or a seperate thing like on the Aiwa? Any strong reasons why I should choose one over the other? /Cameron.

Lucky ... you. My guess is that we've had a batch problem here in Australia, and I seemed to be the one to land a portion of that batch (as small as it may be). I've got about 10 Sony MD's (all standard MDW's, not ES or anything special) and they all give me trouble one way or another. Adios, L

I'm heading over to Hong Kong mid Oct and wonder which would be the better of the group to buy. I've currently got a Aiwa AM-F7 which is great. The features are good and I like the jog shuttle. The only thing is there is a slight hiss which is annoying as I don't think there should be any. I
