MD: Sony MDR-EX70s and Sharp 831 battery life (and some pendantry)

2000-10-26 Thread Clark Family
AFAIK, Sharp probably tests the unit with the antishock set to the 10 second and not the 40 second setting. That will make a difference in battery consumption (I know it does on my md-ms722). I don't know the 831 that well, but if it has a 40 second anti-shock, that might be part of the culprit

Hi All I would strongly recommend the xitel! I had a sb live and got rid of it! The converters and stuff are ok but do not approach true hifi for pro use. While fine for most users, the card does not offer the same thing that higher priced cards do. Like comparing an Emerson to a Pioneer (sort

Hi, The 831's power consumption depends on the volume - this is a feature of Sharp portables. If you're constantly in the 25-30 range, you'd get less battery life. Sharp's figure was obtained with volume at "15". Lithium-ion batteries have virtually no memory effect, but I quote from this page

You can start at www.guillemot.com. They have a list of vendors, as well, that sell the card. I seem to recall seeing it available at CompUSA, but I bought it through CDW. It wasn't one of CDW's normally stocked items, but my rep, there, likes me. Guillemot also has an online order center
