RE: MD: Head Cleaners (were Lens Cleaners)

Actually, that may not be the case dude. I checked out the Australian website and they've got the head cleaner there, but not the lens cleaner. That was actually on the US website, but no head cleaner listed up there. So I wouldn't draw the conclusion that if it isn't on the web, it's not in the

My deck still seems to be doing its usual funny thing, though not as regularly. I'm thinking optical block in the 8900 is getting close to having the dick. Once it gets past reading the TOC, it's fine, so it doesn't clearly seem to be the optical block, but hell, I think it would be the

MD: SACD? Any chance for survival?

I'm considering the purchase of a Sony 9000 ES Progressive Scan DVD Player. As a bonus, it also plays SACD. Titles available in SACD are few and far between and seem to mirror the same (Sony titles only) that were initally available on prerecorded MD: Bangles Greatest Hits, Cyndi Lauper-She's So

The future doesn't look bright for DVD-A or SACD. If nothing else, I think us people nowadays are far less likely to spend on audio as if it's a hobby, and pursue the (supposedly) more refined stuff. Of course, that's probably also due to things like MD being so easily available. A proof -

Question: what is the difference in sound quality and why should anybody in the general public give a flying f**king rhinos ass? I have sincere doubts anybody will ever give a s**t about DVD-Audio, let alone SACD. They shouldn't, unless they are a high-end audiophile type. DVD-Audio

I though Super Audio CDs had multiple layers, one of which was totally compatible with current players? Which I suppose means SACDs effectively have the music recorded on them twice, one layer dedicated for backwards compatibility and the other encoded at 32bit 2MHz or something crazy. Dave

SACD=Super Audio CD, a new supposedly superior (and of course incompatble with current CD players) audio format from Sony. However the huge bonus of SACD is that you can have a convential CD-Audio layer on the disc which _will_ play in regular CD players. That is what will sell the format (if

MD: MD Lens Cleaners (anyone remember this thread?)

Just a final note on the MD Lens Cleaner discussion - I've had the opportunity of checking out a Sony MD-6LCL lens cleaning MD in the flesh. It looks like a pre-recorded MD - shutter on one side only. You insert the thing in the MD unit and press track 2, and it beeps when the job is done.
