MD: MiniDisc and lifestyle systems

2000-06-29 Thread Simon Mackay

It seems that Nakamichi has stopped most of its home audio business. They just began offering cassette decks again recently (in Japan), but no moves on MD. They do have a car MD set though. AFAIK BO hasn't released anything new lately. Their designs could really benefit from newer technologies,

Hello, You stated that unit was running "slow"... Did it sound slow? Or did it just sound as if it were running slow? If it didn't sound slow, then I would say it was the unit reading ahead on the disc for antishock purposes, but if it sounded slow, I have no idea. Sincerely, Cheers,

MD: MS stereo microphone
