The differences between the commercial version and the DIY version of the

Also, I know that SPDIF stands for the initials of several different
electronics manufactures. But isn't the so called SPDIF output simply PCM,
just like the digital output on an MD deck?

I was in the Croydon Dixons today and bought a five-pack of Sharp *80*
minute MDs for eight quid (7.99). That's £1.60 each, the
cheapest brand name
80 min discs I've seen so far, especially in those quantities.
If you don't need the 80 minute capacity, Richer Sounds are selling TDK at

I bought my Sharp 831 last year while I was living in France, but now I'm
back in the US. Unfortunately, Sharp supplied an AC adapter that only works
on European voltages (does not support 60 HZ / 110v), which seems rather
surprising for a device as portable as a minidisc player. Anyway, I'm

For closed earphones, the only decent ones for less than $50 are the Koss
UR-20, which retail for around $25. For around $35 you can get the UR-30
which are the same thing but fold up for portable use. Go up to $60 and you
can get the Sony V6 (NOT the V600), which are significantly better (and
My experience with AC adaptors for use with a Sharp MD is that it is
necessary to get the regulated type if you want to record to MD and/or
charge NiMH batteries. Unregulated types just dip too much on the variable
loads an MD poses, so choose one with a regulated 5V 700mA output (or

Hmmm I bought a five pack of Sony 80 min MDs for just 8.50 from Argos
MDs really are NOT expensive. Richer Sounds do them for like a pound each I
think, and maybe 1.40 for Sonys?

It just occurred to me, when people started talking about Target having MD
