Hello,
I'm new on the list, so sorry for mentioning an old flamewar-subject.
I'm thinking about buying a portable MD-recorder (my first MD-equipment)
and the Sharp MT-90H and the Sony MZ-R700 look pretty fine, so I need to
make a decision... One hint could be the noise (made by the motors and
Hi, I am selling some Brand New Japanese domestic
model Sony R900 for $250 each on ebay. The ebay
address is:

You can choose the color you like, and every unit is
brand new with original accessories. I can only
supply these
But is Md really on fire in say, Japan, like it was about 3 years ago?
Well.. I mean it was a bit different over there. Most people I know in
Japan used MD because they frequently rent audio CDs. There are A LOT of
places to rent CDs over there! Before there weren't that many home
computers
Hello-
I know this is the MD list, but I figured some of you probably had DCC
players back in the day.
In my ever-lasting quest for a recording medium that provides
optical/digital out (for transfer to PC/CDR) I have come across a DCC
deck. It's going for $50 on ebay right now, and has

Sorry, but it is compressed (under an algorithm known as PASC).

The picture of the MZ-R900DPC shown at etronics.com is incorrect.
First off, they show a Sony MZ-R700DPC. Secondly, the color
in the etronics.com is incorrect. If you want to see what the
MZ-R900DPC really looks like, go to planetminidisc.com or crutchfield.com.

Thanks, Richard and Rat. That bright red is too much for me, and I'll
wait for the silver model.

After I'd seen Richard's and Rat's replies and thanked them, another came in
from Greg Schwabacher, the person who had originally told us about the
etronics.com offer. Thank you as well, Greg.

Blanks are a real pain to find. But DCC deck for 50 isn't bad.
It will also spit out the analog tapes with S/PDIF and Coax :)

Dear All
Just a quick note to say the MD-L archives, including the search
facility have been restored.
Sorry about the extended outage of this service which has been
due to compatibilty issues on our new server.
The contents of the archive are updated hourly and the search
indexes are updated

I think that color choice and combinations may be cultural thing. In the mid
80's one of the leading Japanese auto manufactures was offering their red cars
with only BROWN upholstery and interior

I wonder why they would have to compress it? To me it seems that
digital music shouldn't take up more room than analog?
Analog is recorded with sine waves, whereas digital is recorded with
square waves, which take up more room.
Also, tapes sound better if the tape is moved past the head faster
(lower density).
So there is less available time that the tape has per foot. So the data
is compressed to make it fit.

| From what I understand, Sony gets the link from Xitel and rebadges it
Sony doesn't rebadge it. The DG-2 that came with my MZ-R900 (that I
purchased this morning) says Xitel on the back.

Here's a happy thing: this afternoon when I showed up
at the radio station where I work part-time (WWFM -
classical radio network), the chief engineer pointed
out to me the newest piece of equipment - a Sony
MDS-E12 MINIDISC deck. There's one in the on-air

If this is so regarding DCC decks digitizing the signals that come out of
analogue cassettes, then this could be good
