By this you mean the Sony units interface with CD changers? That's cool.

and it's probably cheaper in the long run, and more flexible.

Hi Mike,
I think all MD head units can control CD changers, at least the Kenwood's
ones. If you have place for a changer (MD or CD), then go for it, but
remember that Sony is not only manufacturer to have such products available.
For sound quality, for example, Kenwood products are better.

Just from my own experience. I have an old car with a very old sound
system. It doesn't have a CD player, but it can play cassettes.
I bought a portable MD-recorder a couple of months ago (a Sony
MZ-G750). Very nice little player with FM-radio. Then I got the Sony
CPA-9C Car connection pack.

Michael, with all do respect. once again you are making statements

specific references
Michael Hoffman's email seems to have hit the list like a Rorschach
test, causing folks to take issue (at length!) with whatever part of
the MD/MP3/PC-audio equation raises their hackles.
So, please allow me my reading :-)

First of all, there are LPs without a cutoff of 15kHz. Second, even if
all
LPs were limited to 15kHz, the fact of the matter is that most humans over
the age of 15 can't really hear above 15kHz anyway. So that whole argument
is pretty much irrelevant.
So... you have pretty much made SACD
